Taking care of people in need of help is a thoroughly rewarding job. After you successfully complete your CNA training course and pass the CNA state examination, you must embark upon your career path by looking for job opportunities in Long Term Care Facilities, hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities. Before these facilities will hire you to be part of their medical staff, you will need to undergo a series of job interviews.
Some of the interview questions which can be asked from you are as follows:
- Why do you choose CNA course?
- What makes you think that CNA job is the best job among others?
- What do you least enjoy about being a CNA?
- Why should we hire you for this CNA position?
- Have you ever worked for a nursing home (or hospital, home-care agency, hospice, depending on the employer)?
- How was your previous work experience?
- Why did you leave your past position?
- What is your strength and weaknesses?
- What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
- CNA’s usually follow orders from your superior and work under pressure. How do you think you will handle working under these conditions?
- Certified Nursing Assistant must always follow orders from doctors and nurses. Tell me about a time when you were asked by your superior to do something that you didn’t believe in. What did you do?
- What are your hopes five years from now?
Job interviewer mostly needs to know how professional, responsible and compassionate you are. You need show to the interviewer that you can handle excellent care with bathing, toileting, transferring and reporting. If you have an interview, be prepared.
