When an interviewer asks a question like this, he is usually trying to see what characteristics or traits you may be 'bringing to the game,' so to speak. When you answer this question, try to think about what you would like to see in a person who is providing care for you or a loved one.

" I think a radiographer should be kind and sympathetic. Having to have an xray or ultrasound done can be frightening for some people and if I can make my patient feel at ease, I think that is an important characteristic."
