If the team you are interviewing with has a great candidate pool, the interviewers can turn the tables and give you the chance to discuss why you should be their next perioperative nurse. As you prepare your sales pitch before your interview, the first thing you want to keep in mind is to make yourself memorable following your interview. To do so, try to highlight any unique experiences, training, and education you would bring to the team. Then, you'll want to match yourself with some of the top qualities that the most successful perioperative nurses possess. These include being technologically advanced, preferring variety in your day, possessing excellent communication skills, and having great critical thinking skills.

"When I was notified of this opening by one of your team members, I immediately was drawn to it because I've been working the first four years of my career out of nursing school with the goal to become a perioperative nurse. In the inpatient hospital setting, I've continued to develop and become more comfortable in my analytical skills with patients which I know would be great to have in the OR setting. I would also come to your team as a nurse who always advocates for patients and has great communication skills. I'm very comfortable working with physicians and know that your team of surgeons and anesthetists would receive me well."
