4. Why do you think you will be the best podiatrist for our office?
How to Answer
This is a stupid question, the kind we love to hate, but that doesn't mean it won't be asked. It's one of those 'rah-rah' type questions that asks you to demonstrate your verve and vigor, when the best podiatrist for someone's office is usually any podiatrist who strives to do his or her best. Don't say you're going to be the best, because that means you feel you're going to do better than everyone else, which is obnoxious. Instead, enthuse about how you want to do your best, always, for everyone and then come what may for any bogus type of ranking in the interviewer's eyes.

"I don't see my profession as a competition. That's not the best way to care for patients. The best way to care for patients is to care for them the best you can. If you do that, you'll never have to worry about who's best or worst."
