Tell us about your strengths?
This question can be very tricky or very easy depending on the way you answer it. No doubt, everyone has their specific set of strengths, but strengths that can be helpful during your job should be focused more. Your strengths might include hard working, team working, calmness, positive attitude, and/or problem-solving. No matter which strength you decide to tell, try to be honest and truthful, and avoid any unnecessary exaggeration.
Relevancy is highly important while answering this question. Telling about your strengths that are irrelevant to this job is not encouraged. Strive to maintain professionalism in your answer. Give an example of your previous job or school where the same strengths helped you find a solution in an adverse situation. Applicants should also practice this question at home before the interview. That way, it wouldnt take much time to think about the appropriate strengths.
This question seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but its crucial. Heres the deal: Dont give your complete employment (or personal) history Regarding AHS. Instead give a pitch-one thats concise and compelling and that shows exactly why youre the right fit for the job. Start off with the 2-3 specific accomplishments or experiences that you most want the interviewer to know about, then wrap up talking about how that prior experience has positioned you for this specific role.
Describe your biggest failure and discuss what youve learned from it and ideally how youve been successful since because of that lesson.
Here being specific is probably not the best approach. You may consider responding, “I hope a very long time.” Or “As long as were both happy with my performance.”
If you want to show your fun side, discuss your extracurricular activities. If you want to show your ambition, discuss the work / school projects you do in your spare time.
Again be honest. The interviewer will be able to sense very quickly if youre be disingenuous. Your answer should be base on your person reasons, career aspirations as well as research youve performed on the company. The most important thing you should do is make sure to relate your answer to your long-term career goals.
Why did you choose to become a Licensed Practical Nurse?
This is the most common question asked to all the practical nurses during a job interview. This question is actually easy to answer. Instead of asking the same question, the interviewer might ask you some identical questions such as: What inspired you to choose a nursing career? Why did you become a licensed practical nurse? However, regardless of the way of asking, the answer is the same yet varies from applicant to applicant. Applicants are advised to think about this question with a free mind and ask themselves the same. That way, an honest, truthful, and impressive answer might pop up in your mind.
Many students want to become practical nurses because one or more of their family members are in the same profession and nursing actually inspires them. Some applicants choose the nursing because they want to aid in the overall health of the community. Some choose the practical nursing because they just want to ensure the welfare of the people by being a part of the healthcare industry. Your answer might differ than that of the others since there is no best answer for it. Giving an honest answer with confidence is what matters the most.
