10. Do you have any experience with addiction? Explain.
How to Answer
If you are interviewing to work at an inpatient hospital or a residential facility, you may be working with individuals dealing with addiction. Consider some of the challenges you face with these particular individuals in a group setting. They may not want to participate in the activities. They may relapse. The interviewer wants to know how you will handle the challenges. Share some tools or examples from your experience that you think will be helpful when addressing addictive behaviors. You may want to list some activities that have been helpful in the past.
