Which types of facilities have you worked in before?

Employers ask this question to learn more about your level of experience. If you have previous hospital experience, they may be more likely to hire you. If you have prior experience working in a doctor's office, they may still be willing to hire you, but you may need to demonstrate your ability to handle the job's responsibilities.

Example: “I have worked in a variety of medical facilities, including hospitals, private practices, and urgent care centers. In my most recent role as a Medical Assistant, I was responsible for providing patient care in an outpatient setting. During this time, I gained experience with scheduling appointments, taking vital signs, performing laboratory tests, and assisting physicians with exams.

In addition to the clinical duties, I also had administrative responsibilities such as filing paperwork, managing patient records, and communicating with insurance companies. My ability to multitask and stay organized allowed me to successfully manage all aspects of the job. I am confident that my past experiences make me well-suited for this position.”
