3 TIPS FOR PASSING YOUR NHS CLERICAL OFFICER INTERVIEW
TIP #1 – Prior to attending the NHS Clerical Officer interview, we strongly recommend you read the job description for the role you are applying for. Once you have read it, take note of the essential criteria and provide specific examples at the interview of how you meet each and every one of them.
TIP #2 – The role of an NHS Clerical Officer requires an ability to plan and organise your work to the highest standards possible, whilst also managing multiple tasks all at once. During the interview, you will be asked to provide details of when you have previously worked in a similar setting, so make sure you have examples ready of when you have both planned and organised busy work schedules within a previous role.
TIP #3 – Maintaining confidentiality and dealing with difficult patients are both two important aspects of the role. Prior to attending your NHS Clerical Officer interview, have an understanding of how important ‘confidentiality’ is and also how you would deal effectively with a difficult or aggressive patient.
