Building strong relationships is essential for the success of any business. The healthcare industry is no exception, especially in concentrated areas like surgery, where most days you work with the same people. Share why you think you have good relationship building skills.

"I do feel like I have good relationship building skills. I like people and enjoy getting to know them."

"I have often been complimented on my relationship building skills. I like to get to know people and ask them questions about themselves; I find it's a great and simple way to start building rapport with others. I consider myself to be a strong relationship builder and take pride in my 'people skills'."

"I believe I have strong relationship building skills. I value the opinions of others and try to show respect to them. I find that having a caring attitude and a willingness to learn about others helps build relationships. Working in surgery, I believe, it is really important to make an effort to build strong relationships with your team. Often, we work within the same team day in and day out. We learn one another's strengths and weaknesses, likes, and dislikes, and that is crucial when we are taking care of people who are in such a dependent position as those needing surgery."
