Do you feed your mind on a regular basis? What kind of literature do you prefer and why? Talk to the interviewers about a book that you are currently reading. If you are not currently reading a book - talk about one that has impacted you the most.

Excellent books! Rather than give rapid-fire answers, I suggest using these 'get to know you' style questions as a way to make a connection with your interviewer. For instance, what impact have these books had on you, or what are your biggest takeaways/lessons so far?

An autobiography called, " Not Your Average Nurse," by Maggie Groff. It details her journey of becoming a nurse from studying in London to working in Australia. She shares her mistakes but also highlights the life-affirming moments that made it all worthwhile.

Awesome! Is there anything you've learned from the book so far that you can apply to your own life and the career path you've chosen? How did you initially learn about this book? Adding some more details will further strengthen your answer. Good job!
