Have you ever considered choosing a different specialty?
"Actually, I had initially thought that I would become a gynecologist. Something about urology was just very intriguing to me and I knew I wanted to make a career in this specialty area."
"Becoming a urologist was the only thing I ever wanted to do. There are other areas that are interesting to me, but nothing that I would consider leaving this career for. I am quite happy with my choice of specialty and look forward to many more years of practice."
Many employee candidates are unsure of how to answer this question. Most feel that if they say they may have other interests that the interviewer will not recommend them for employment. This is not necessarily the case. This is simply an opportunity for the interviewer to get to know your interests.
"I have never considered any specialty other than urology. From the time I decided to go to medical school I knew I wanted to be a Urologist. I am happy to take classes and continue my education, perhaps for an advanced degree that may go hand in hand with current role, but I am not interested in changing my specialty."
