The interviewer wants to hear what you feel is essential to working with clients and positively impacting their lives. There are many ways you can be impactful. You can make a client's life better by cleaning and organizing their home, cooking healthy meals, taking them to doctor's appointments, and reminding them to take their medications. You can impact them by giving them dignity and compassion. The list goes on. Choose a client with who you felt you had the most impact and describe the situation.

"I feel I had the most impact in my last job with a client who has autism. She was five years old and had never spoken, and her family could not receive any results with years of therapy. I was hired to assist the client at her home while the parents worked, taking her to therapy sessions and helping with cooking and cleaning. I had read an article about a program that helps non-verbal autistic patients speak. After consulting with the family, I introduced my client to the program on her tablet. Within two months, she started saying a few words, and within four months, she was saying complete sentences. She made an amazing transformation in a short amount of time!"
