  • 24. Have you ever had a situation where you had a number of alternatives to choose from? How did you go about choosing one?

      How to Answer

      Your day as a Physical Therapist Assistant can be full of patients and administrative work. Figuring out a balance between the two so one doesn't suffer is sometimes difficult to do. How do you go about prioritizing your work and choosing to work on one thing at a time. Tell the interviewer about a time you were faced with different solutions and how you came up with the one. What was the outcome? Why was it successful?

      Rachelle's Feedback

      For 'have you ever...' style questions, the interviewer wants to gauge your response in a specific situation. I recommend giving a story-based example, which you can form using the STAR framework (Situation, Task, Action, Result). We have a guide on how to answer this type of question, and you can find it here: Master Behavioral-Based Interviews Using The Star Method
