There are times when we are placed under extreme pressure on the job. Tell me what you would do if the Respiratory Therapist or another healthcare worker yelled at you on the job in front of a patient.
Respiratory Therapy Technicians need to remain calm and professional in stressful situations. While there is no excuse for being yelled at, especially in front of patients, it might happen. The interviewer wants to see your conflict resolution skills. It is best to wait until you can get the person in private to tell them how you felt about them yelling at you. Explain that you feel yelling at someone in front of patients is unprofessional.
"I would wait until we were away from any patients and ask whoever yelled at me if I could talk to them in private. I would calmly explain that I did not appreciate being yelled at and that it was unprofessional to do so in front of the patient. It would depend on what they yelled at me about, but if it had to do with my skills, I would ask what I could do to improve."
