"In my current position, I work in an NICU, and the equipment I work with is very specialized to the patients that I work with. Almost every day, I intubate the babies that I work with and perform neonatal resuscitation. Our ventilators are customized for premature babies, and I also have experience working on mobile equipment when I accompany patients on transports. With my experience on this equipment, you'll find that I'm able to train with ease on new equipment."

As a Respiratory Therapist, you have familiarity working with many different pieces of equipment. Your interviewer will be looking to hear specifically what you have hands-on experience working with. Talk about those items you are familiar with and stress your ability to learn new things with ease. You don't have to get wrapped up in the specific manufacturers of the equipment you have worked with. If you haven't worked on a particular machine that your new employer uses, your interviewer will be left at ease knowing you are willing and able to learn something new.

"In my current position, I work with a wide array of equipment with patients in an intensive care setting. I regularly work with oxygen monitors, suction machines, heated humidifiers, and nebulizers with my patients in this setting. Whenever I am working with a new machine, I take the time to train and get to learn the machine before using the machine on a patient. I can pick up on new things very easily when they come my way."
