Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.
The interviewers are curious about your long-term career goals to see how they can support you during your residency. If you are interested in pursuing a fellowship, they want to know your sub-specialty. Or perhaps your goal is to work as a pediatric pharmacist in a children's hospital or work in research. Let the interviewers know your career goals and why you chose them. Then, describe where you see yourself in ten years.

"In ten years, I see myself working as a pediatric clinical pharmacist at a children's hospital. After my residency, I plan to pursue a pediatric clinical pharmacology fellowship with Children's Mercy Hospital. After completing my fellowship, I hope to be offered a position with Children's Mercy Hospital as they generally hire their fellows."
