Personality Interview Questions

More and more entities are asking behavioral-type questions during the interview. I even had one practice require that candidates talk with an employment psychologist. These questions require more thought than the standard questions so you should prepare your answers. They delve into your personality. Here are some behavioral questions:

1. Describe your approach with patients? Show empathy and compassion in your response. Note items such as attention to listening, interest in patient education, and engaging the patient in conversation when responding to this question.
2. Tell me about a specific patient who came to you unhappy with the care they received elsewhere. How did you handle it? Once again, show compassion and empathy when answering this question. Your answer will inform they how you deal with worried patients. The same attitude should be displayed in your answers to the following questions too.
3. Please describe a difficult patient, family member or colleague with whom you had to work and how you handled the situation.
4. Please describe a difficult patient, family member or colleague with who you had to work and how you handled the situation.
