"I would have to say, at this point, I prefer adults. I have performed venipunctures on various age groups and am willing to work with anyone, but I feel the most comfortable with adults at this time."

"I have been a phlebotomist for a while now, and I have to say that I have no real preference of an age group to work with. There are easy sticks with neonates and difficult sticks with adults, just like there are difficult sticks with newborns and easy ones with adults. I feel confident with my skills and am willing to work where I am needed."

While phlebotomists usually don't get to specify a particular age group they would like to work with, some facilities have large patient populations. Because of this, a supervisor may assign a phlebotomist to work in a specific area, for instance, pediatrics or oncology. This is your chance to voice your opinion about what you want. However, always remember to leave the door open by saying you are willing to work where you are needed. This shows the interviewer you are willing to be a part of the team.

"I am comfortable with any age group. If I were given a choice, I would definitely say that I would like to work with pediatrics. I know several people who would rather not work with children, but I love kids and think I would really enjoy caring for them."
