The interviewer wants to hear what made you decide to become an orthopedic technician. Describe how you determined that you wanted to pursue a career as an orthopedic technician. It may be that you have a friend or family member in the field, a professor or guidance counselor might have suggested this career, or you may have been exposed to this field by an interaction you had with an orthopedic technician.

"I decided to pursue a career as an orthopedic technician after taking a basic first aid class while in high school. I discovered I enjoyed splinting and bandaging, and my instructor suggested that a career in orthopedics might be a good choice for me. I researched different orthopedic careers and decided to start as an orthopedic technician before going to school to become an orthopedic physician assistant."
