Question 1 of 40

Have you ever been overloaded with work? How did you handle that situation?

Every job comes with stress, and as an ultrasound technician, your stress level will depend on your environment. If you work at a hospital, you may have a full schedule and may need to be on call. Busy days and middle-of-the-night wake-up calls may overload you. Tell the interviewer how you would respond in these types of situations. Perhaps you prioritize and organize your tasks, ask for help, or delegate work if possible. Also, there may be tools you find helpful. Let the interviewer know how you manage a heavy workload, highlighting your organizational, critical-thinking, and communication skills.
