Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Tell me about a time you greeted someone who was clearly upset or in distress. What did you say and do first?

whether the candidate leads with empathy and calm before jumping to logistics

What does good customer service look like to you in a hospital setting, compared to somewhere like a hotel or retail store you may have worked before?

whether they understand the added emotional weight and stakes of a medical environment

Tell me about a time you had to physically assist someone who had mobility issues, whether that was helping them into a car, a wheelchair, or just walking with them.

real experience with the physical, hands-on caregiving side of the role, not just desk-based customer service

This job has you standing and walking almost the entire shift, often outside in Chicago winters and summers. How do you know you can handle that day after day?

honest self-assessment of physical stamina and weather tolerance for the role's actual conditions

Tell me about a situation where you had to ask someone sensitive or uncomfortable questions, medical or otherwise, and how you handled their reaction.

comfort and tact when conducting symptom screening of patients and visitors

Give me an example of a time you worked closely with a team where everyone had different jobs but had to stay coordinated to get something done for a customer or patient.

collaboration across departments, since this role depends on partnering with hospital staff outside their own team

Technical

Have you used Epic or a similar system before? If so, what did you use it for?

actual hands-on familiarity with Epic for appointment lookup and transport requests, not just claimed exposure

How would you describe your communication style when you have to relay information between a transport company, a nursing unit, and a visitor, all about the same patient?

ability to coordinate accurately across multiple parties without losing details

Situational

A visitor is angry because they've been waiting a long time for a wheelchair escort and they're raising their voice at you in the lobby. Walk me through what you'd do.

conflict de-escalation skills and whether they stay professional under pressure

You get a call from a unit needing a patient transported at the same time three visitors are asking you for directions and the phone is ringing again. How do you decide what to handle first?

prioritization under competing demands in a fast-paced, high-traffic environment

If you noticed the entrance area was getting congested with cars dropping off patients and pedestrians trying to get through, what would you do?

initiative and awareness of traffic flow and safety without waiting to be told

A patient's family member says they were promised a specific type of assistance by someone on the phone, but you have no record of that request. How do you handle it?

service recovery skills and ability to problem-solve without blaming the patient or another department
