Job interview question please help?


I am wondering how to answer a question like this.

Is there anything else you would like to share with me about your professional experience?

My background is working in a medical office and working at a college as a secretary but how would I answer that question?

anyadvice???

Usually, when they ask wbout details regarding your "professional experience" they are interested in your backgroud, more specifically in the activities you have performed, activities which, preferably, should be related to the specific job you are being interviewed for.
So in this case you should state the skills that are strongly and closely connected to the requirements of that job.
You can begin by "sharing" your foundation skills

and then enhance the experience you have had in the very field
your job is placed in.
Good luck!

TELL THEM WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM , AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER THEM. GOOD LUCK.

If you did some special project in your former job that would apply to the new job, that might be the time to mention it.

Like, "When I was the secretary for xyz company, I took the initiative to re-organize all the files so that they could be converted from paper to electronic format."

It is something that might or might not be associated with that job title but would be valuable if the job you are interviewing for is looking for someone with computer experience or who can manage a long-term project.

If you possess good people skills, I would emphasize that, especially when it would come to dealing with patients (or college students). Let them know that you have ben in situations with people from all walks of life and that the number one key is to LISTEN to what people have to say first, before answering.

I agree with Bonnie. Maybe add something along the lines of how much you enjoy this line of work and how rewarding it is to you. Be positive and definitely don't say, "No, not really. That's it." They want you to answer.

It sounds like a wrap-up question. Before you go to the interview, list the attributes that you hope to convey to the interviewer. When you are asked this question, review your list, identify any items that have not been discussed and mention these. Make sure you back them up and give the interviewer a chance to ask follow-up questions.

Hopefully, you will be able to cover most of your list before this question is asked. If not, something is wrong. If you covered all items, you don't have to say too much. "No, I am confident that we have covered my experience at a high level. I am happy to answer any follow-up questions," is perfectly acceptable if you have covered everything.

Make sure you show enthusiasm if you want the job and ask questions about the position. Resist the urge to say too much. It is much easier for an interviewer to disqualify you for something (s)he dislikes about your statement(s) than for something you did *not* say.

A big key is telling them that you show up for work everyday and have a excellent track record for showing up everyday.
