QUESTION 12 OF 30

Have you ever suggested an improvement that was put into practice in the pre-hospital care field?

If you haven't made a suggestion that was implemented, don't worry about blowing this answer. Tell the interviewer how you started doing things differently or with a different attitude. The interviewer wants to know more about your problem-solving and leadership capabilities. Show how you are proactive in setting the standard for excellence on your shift.

"Just last month, I presented a new way to build the schedule to my boss. My boss appreciated my insight and motivation and implemented my suggestion. We've been working on the new schedule for the past month, and it has been going very well."

"Yes, I suggested replacing our old trauma boxes with backpack-style durable bags last year. The trauma boxes were the tackle box style and were challenging to carry when we had a long distance to reach the patient. The backpacks allow us to carry more gear and take up less room in the ambulance. My supervisor went with my suggestion, and my coworkers expressed how pleased they were with the new gear."
