How would your former employer describe you?
You may have been told by your former employer how they admired your technical skills, communication, leadership, or professionalism during a conversation. Or, you might have a performance review or letter of recommendation from your employer describing your qualities and traits. Explain to the interview three or four words your former employer used to describe you using examples for each.
"My former employer described me in my last performance review as an honest, dependable surgeon with excellent bedside manner and leadership skills. My employer said that I was honest with my patients, family members, and coworkers and could depend on me to work whatever shift was needed. They said I was compassionate and empathetic with patients, and I was a leader that everyone looked up to. My previous employer highly recommended me for the position of a thoracic surgeon."
