My work style matching exactlty what cashier job requires by: being careful about detail and thorough in completing work tasks, developing one's own ways of doing things, guiding oneself with little or no supervision, and depending on oneself to get things done, being reliable, responsible, and dependable, and fulfilling obligations, being pleasant with others on the job and displaying a good-natured, cooperative attitude, being honest and ethical.

This one is hard to prepare for directly, but before you head into the interview, make sure you have a mental list of some accomplishments from past jobs. We've noted before the best way to think about responding to these types of questions is by applying the STAR method to formulating your answer:

I prioritize my tasks at the beginning of each day to ensure the most important items get done as soon as possible. I am efficient and skilled at multi tasking so I can work on several projects simultaneously with no complications. Lastly, I maintain a strict filing system so I can easily retrieve things and always know where the correct information is located.

Electronic health records, or EHR, are truly becoming the standard way to document medical encounters throughout the medical industry. I discovered this when the medical center at which I last worked was one of the last to transition from paper records to EHR in the surrounding area. Being part of this transition allowed me to get in-depth training in the EHR software that we use. I now have extensive experience creating, updating and correcting errors in the EHR.

The two most dreaded questions in a job interview usually come back-to-back. "What are your strengths?" and "What are your weaknesses?" are difficult to answer. For strengths, pick a skill you have that applies directly the job and use it as your answer. For instance, if you're applying as a file clerk at a hospital, mention that you're very good with details and can keep track of a lot of things at once. Tailor your strength directly to the job description you applied for in the first place.

I think the receptionist plays a critical role in the customer's perception of the company. I am the first person they encounter so I could make or break the customer's first impression. I possess effective business communication skills and can easily interact with a wide variety of personalities over the phone and in person so I have no doubt that I will represent the company in the best possible manner. It is crucial that the customer experiences great service from the receptionist. Using my pleasant disposition I will see to it that all customers have a positive impression of this company.

I believe that extra responsibility only teaches us more skills. And who wouldn’t want to acquire more skills? I am perfectly alright with extra work burden now and then.

Many consider this question to be a loaded gun – dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced. Often times, an interviewee will start talking salary before they’ve had an opportunity to illustrate their skill set and value making any sort of leverage valueless. Here, knowledge is power, as salary often comes down to negotiation. Do some research into your industry to establish base rates of pay based on seniority and demand but keep in mind – your employer is hiring you for what they believe you are worth, and how much benefit they feel you will provide.

While this question is an invitation to do some chest pounding, remember to illustrate strengths that will benefit the employer and are relative to the position. For example:

☛ being a problem solver

☛ being a motivator

☛ being a natural leader

☛ the ability to perform under pressure

☛ a positive attitude

☛ loyalty

I really try to treat patients as I would like to be treated when I go to the doctor. As a receptionist at a previous medical center, I calmly listened to patients to make sure they felt like I cared about what they were saying. After listening to them, I subsequently tried to help them the best that I could within the policies of the facility at which I worked.

In my last job, I worked in a medical facility as a receptionist and helped maintain the health center’s patient list and profiles. I was expected to keep those records secure and confidential in a locked cabinet when I was not actively reviewing them. During my two years in that job, I never lost a patient record or put information at risk of being seen by other patrons or staff.
