HOSPITAL PORTER INTERVIEW TIPS! HOW TO PASS A HOSPITAL PORTER JOB INTERVIEW!
So, what does it take to pass a job interview to become a hospital porter? Richard McMunn has carried out the hard work for you, and below, he has provided you with 4 very important tips that will guide you to success! Read each of the tips carefully and follow the advice contained within them to pass your hospital porter interview!
HOSPITAL PORTER INTERVIEW TIP #1
One of the ways you can easily stand out in your hospital porter interview is to read and learn the values of the organization you are applying to work for. All NHS Trusts, hospitals, medical centers and healthcare organizations have a set of important values and there is a strong possibility you will get asked a number of questions based on them.
HOSPITAL PORTER INTERVIEW TIP #2
One interview question that often catches people out during hospital porter interviews is the one that asks you to explain what respect and dignity is and how you would demonstrate it in your work. Make sure you have a thorough understanding of the value of respect and dignity and consider carefully how you will apply it whilst communicating with patients, their families, carers and other healthcare professionals.
HOSPITAL PORTER INTERVIEW TIP #3
Some of the questions asked during hospital porter interviews will be behavioral-based. A behavioral interview question requires you to give a specific situation you have previously been in where you have demonstrated a specific skill or attribute. When answering competency-based or behavioural interview questions, structure your response using the STAR technique: Situation, Task, Action and Result.
HOSPITAL PORTER INTERVIEW TIP #4
At the end of your porter interview, you will have the opportunity to ask some questions of your own. Here are three smart questions to ask that demonstrate you are serious about the role and you want to do a good job!
QUESTION 1 – If I am successful, how could I help you within my role to help you provide a better service to your patients?
QUESTION 2 – What are the major challenges you are currently facing within this particular hospital?
QUESTION 3 – What advice would you give to the successful candidate who wants to do a good job?
