"For most of my career, I've worked in an extremely busy radiology department under little supervision. My manager oversees a department of 25 techs and isn't the type of manager to watch over my shoulder while I work. She trusts me to make decisions with my patients and equipment that I work with based off the work that I have performed in the past. With that said, if an issue comes up that I can't handle, I don't hesitate to get in touch with her first thing."

Life as an X-ray Technician requires the ability to work and make critical decisions on your own and your interviewer will be trying to gauge how you do that. Give an example of when you worked without supervision. Show your interviewer you can self-manage while handling challenges and paying attention to detail without needing anyone to check your work.

"In my current role, I work on second shift where my direct supervisor and manager are not in-house for most of my shifts. I was entrusted with the lead role on our small team of second shift staff because of my ability to make critical decisions while following organizational procedures. "
