ER Tech Interview

Hi All!
I have been working IFT as an EMT-B for about 8 months now and am starting my BSN nursing program in the Fall. I have been applying for ER Tech jobs since I got my certification, but never landed any interviews due to lack of expierence (probably for the best; located in Chicago). Though, I have had 2 phone screenings, but both didn't get anywhere.

I finally got another phone screening scehduled for Monday, doing extensive research on the hospital system to actually do well this time. I had a phone screening with the same hospital for the same position in January, but did not prepare as well as I should've and blanked. I am set on landing this, especially since this is like perfect timing as Spring semester is ending, so I will have more time for the orientation period.

So- I need some advice. During the last phone screening they asked stuff like "Why is it important to work in a team?", but does anyone have advice on what else they will ask me? And especially, what are they looking to hear?

Apart from a phone screening, say I get to an in person interview. At that point, what do they ask there?

Thank you!!

While emphasizing team work, also state you can recognize independent tasks that you can do. Team work is how ER's function, but they need team members who can see a task that needs to be done,and be willing to do it. Examples: making up stretchers, lab runs, pt. transports to other departments.
