Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
This shift runs 2:00 to 10:00 PM with rotating weekends. How will that fit your life over the long haul?
What they are checking: Whether they have honestly thought through an evening and weekend schedule that many couriers quit over.
Tell me about your driving record and a time you had to drive in bad weather for work.
What they are checking: Whether they are a safe, steady driver in Midwest winters, since the vehicle and the specimens both depend on it.
Tell me about a time you worked alone most of the day. How did you stay on task without a supervisor nearby?
What they are checking: Whether they are dependable when nobody is watching, which is most of a courier's day.
What would you do
Walk me through how you would start your shift so you have every supply your pickup route needs.
What they are checking: Whether they plan ahead so a missing kit or cooler does not leave a client office without service.
You are running 30 minutes behind because of traffic and still have five stops. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they communicate early with dispatch and offices rather than rushing unsafely or silently skipping stops.
You arrive at a doctor's office and the specimen bag has no requisition and one tube is leaking. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they follow safety and handling rules with biohazards and flag problems instead of just tossing the bag in the car.
A receptionist at a client office is rude to you because you were late yesterday. How do you respond?
What they are checking: Whether they stay professional with clients, since couriers are often the only Labcorp face an office sees each day.
About the work
Why does it matter to keep specimens at the right temperature during transport, and how would you make sure that happens?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that a warm or frozen sample can be rejected and a patient may need to be redrawn.
How do you keep track of which stops you have finished and what you picked up at each one?
What they are checking: Whether they keep accurate records, because a lost specimen has to be traced back to a specific pickup.
How would you protect patient information that is on the paperwork you carry?
What they are checking: Whether they understand basic patient privacy and never leave specimens or forms visible in an unlocked vehicle.
