Lab interviews are practical. They want to know you're safe, accurate, and calm. Prepare for these.
- "What's the order of draw?" — Know it cold (see our cheat sheet).
- "A patient faints mid-draw — what do you do?" — Remove the tourniquet and needle, lay them flat, call for help.
- "How do you handle a hard stick?" — Warm the site, anchor the vein, switch arms, and know when to ask a colleague.
- "How do you confirm patient identity?" — Two identifiers, every time.
Answer with calm, specific routines. Labs hire for reliability over flash.
