Tell me about your experience training others.
Coaching and training others is always a great experience to add to your resume and can be fun! For this role, you may have an opportunity to train new staff on equipment and treatments you perform. You may even have a chance to do a presentation on a new form of technology used to treat cancer.
The medical field is constantly changing as new research brings improvements and inventions. Share how you have led teams, coached new employees, or trained a team on a new technology or an improved practice. If you are new to your career, with little career-related training experience, you could discuss how you coached someone while obtaining your degree or helped another intern during rotations.
"I recently trained three of our team members on the new Cobalt machine we received in our clinic last month. It felt great to be seen as a subject matter expert, considering all the years of experience I have with this type of equipment. Since the training, I have remained a go-to resource for my team members whenever a question arises."
"While attending university, I was a volunteer tutor for the radiation program. Primarily, I assisted first and second-year students on topics such as principles of oncology, patient care, and dose calculations. It feels nice to teach what you know, and I look forward to being able to train others once again."

University students, supernumerary staff, and also new junior radiographers to build confidence and skill set. I encourage others to learn and to get involved with patient setups.
