Tell me about a time you got feedback on your work that was hard to hear. What did you do with it?

Tell me about a time you worked as part of a team to get through a rush.

What would you do

A machine shows an error during a donor's collection and you're not sure what it means. What do you do?

You finish your shift and realize you forgot to document a step for one donor. What do you do?

About the work

Why do you think a donor's identity has to be checked against their record before every donation?
