"Throughout my career working as an Occupational Therapist, I have worked with patients with all sorts of chronic conditions. My experience in working with people that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and dementia has been extensive in recent years and make me an excellent candidate for this position. I work closely with both patients and their loved ones to assess home living life and suggesting modifications for the patients to live as independently as possible with these conditions. Knowing that conditions for these patients can change quickly, I thrive on the focused time with each patient."

As an Occupational Therapist, you will work with patients that suffer from chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure or even asthma. Tell the interviewer how you recommend your patients conserve energy, reduce or prevent pain, simplify the activities, and improve the safety in their life. Your interviewer will be trying to get a better feel for the types of patients that you have experience with. It is important to know if the job you are interviewing for works with specific populations and tailor your answer to that population.

"I have had a lot of experience helping clients that suffer from chronic conditions. I'm currently working with a patient that has diabetes. We have written up a plan that has the patient testing as often as their physician has required as well as meal planning and an exercise schedule."
