Electronic health records, or EHR, are truly becoming the standard way to document medical encounters throughout the medical industry. I discovered this when the medical center at which I last worked was one of the last to transition from paper records to EHR in the surrounding area.

7⟩ What Are Your Strengths and Weaknesses as File Clerk?

The two most dreaded questions in a job interview usually come back-to-back. "What are your strengths?" and "What are your weaknesses?" are difficult to answer. For strengths, pick a skill you have that applies directly the job and use it as your answer. For instance, if you're applying as a file clerk at a hospital, mention that you're very good with details and can keep track of a lot of things at once. Tailor your strength directly to the job description you applied for in the first place.

8⟩ Explain me what is the importance of a receptionist if we talk about a customer's overall impression of the company?

I think the receptionist plays a critical role in the customer's perception of the company. I am the first person they encounter so I could make or break the customer's first impression. I possess effective business communication skills and can easily interact with a wide variety of personalities over the phone and in person so I have no doubt that I will represent the company in the best possible manner.

9⟩ What are your weaknesses as File Clerk?

Another tricky one. The purpose of this question is to see how you view and evaluate yourself.

One the one hand, if you suggest you don’t have any weaknesses, your interviewer will almost certainly see you as a lair, egotistical, or both.

Don’t fall into the trap of trying to present a positive skill in disguise as a weakness, like “I work too hard” or “I am a perfectionist”. Any experienced interviewer will see through this in a heartbeat.

Additionally, revealing that “I’m not really a morning person and have been known to come in late” raises immediate and obvious red flags.

The trick here is to respond realistically by mentioning a small, work related weakness and what you are doing or have done to overcome it.

15⟩ What are your salary expectations as File Clerk?

Many consider this question to be a loaded gun – dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced. Often times, an interviewee will start talking salary before they’ve had an opportunity to illustrate their skill set and value making any sort of leverage valueless. Here, knowledge is power, as salary often comes down to negotiation. Do some research into your industry to establish base rates of pay based on seniority and demand but keep in mind – your employer is hiring you for what they believe you are worth, and how much benefit they feel you will provide.
