Still can’t believe I self-studied for 3 weeks and passed the exam , thanks to this man. Everything he teaches is on the exam. I look forward to putting all these valuable information to use during my interviews. I appreciate you sir.
The BEST Sterile processing Instruction I've ever came across. This is what I call a dedicated and great teacher. Thank you for videoing your teachings & sharing them.
I just passed my CRCST exam today, and I would be honest watching all of his videos has been a part of my study routine, and kudos to sir Steve for making all these videos about sterile processing.
With this video MASTERPIECE in mind, I went to an interview today. I did very well and got a job offer! No words to express how thankful I am to you, Steve!!! I hope you make more videos like this to guide more people to reinforce their confidence and find their potential...
I'm sooo glad I came across your video. your video helped me out sooo much thank you. I have never had experience in the medical field of any type, I have only worked in retail for almost 6 yrs and worked on the family farming business for all my life and I'm 26 yrs old. July 25th I will be start a new job as a sterile processing tech for a huge hospital in my area. I watched this video a few times, made tons of notes, and applied what I needed to the interview. it worked, the one thing that will stick with me is "I don't believe in weaknesses I believe in opportunities for improvement." again thank you for sharing this video it helped out in so many ways.
Great video, Steve! I have a certificate but no experience. I cleared the interview following your guide and got a job in CSSD with 2y experience requirements. Thank you, thank you!!
I used his teachings of how to interview numerous times and I land the job every time. I have moved states and I have an interview tomorrow and still hopeful this will help me to land the position. Excellent excellent source of information on being positive and interview for central sterile processing.
I just passed my exam today. Took me 3 weeks to prepare with the textbook 8th edition , this teacher’s Chanel and Purdue university online course . Started applying for jobs last week , I already got 1 interview lined up . Thank you for your videos they helped me a lot

Thank you Steve for your lecture. I listened to your lecture repeatedly before going for my interview. The interview was very intense but I was selected from the numerous number of candidates.I passed the CRCST exam in September and had a job in early October. Thank you.
I’m newly certified and in my early 50’s and have my first spd interview tomorrow… when i was studying, I watched all of your videos and i want to thank you so much!
OMFG THANK YOU. Your videos have been so awesome. I got a job in sterile processing in August. Today at 9:45 I passed my cbspd exam and am now a certified sterile processing professional. I get my promotion now yes yes yes!
Steve, thank you for posting these videos. I've watched all your videos on Sterile Processing, took many notes and tips. Within one week of watching your videos I had a successful interview and will be starting my new position at our local hospital. From there the hospital will pay for my certification and to further my career. Thank you, sir!
I just had the BEST interview I’ve ever had after watching this video!! So well that I was told in the interview that if I were to be hired for the position that they would love to consider me for a supervisor role in the future and also that I was a favored candidate. I hope to hear back in the next week..😊 Thank you so much!🙌🏽
You have empowered me with the knowledge of how to properly conduct myself in an interview. I have an interview coming up soon, glad I found you sir. Thanks
First and foremost, I’d like to thank you teacher for making this helpful and useful video. As a person who is extremely scared of interviews and not knowing what to say during interviews your video has open my eyes and mind. This video has given me the confidence to go to any face to face job interviews. I hope this comment finds you well and may God bless you and your family. I’m so thankful for you.
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that this video helped you. Thank you for your blessing, it is said that a person who blesses another receives a double blessing in kind. May this be so. Steve
You are a professional! Your a good instructor! I studied your videos & got certified today! & i also used this for my interview & got hired on ! Thank you so much man!!!
@@katgnz6516 i did the 400 hours of clinicals & watched his videos & read the chapters he tells you to . Go through his whole UA-cam page & study the sterile processing videos. It wasn’t hard like I thought ,to much procrastination was my worst enemy hop on it asap! Goodluck!
@@eddyhernandez9503 ok cool thanks. I got a job inside the hospital just to kinda get my foot in the door but I want to transfer over to the spd department so I'm start watching everything 😄 thank you!
I came from a very different industry and applied for a Sterile Technician position here in UK. Tomorrow is my interview. I got no formal education on that position except for the videos I watch in youtube. I am very thankful for Steve since I am learning so much from his videos regarding sterilisation.. I do hope I pass my interview tomorrow :D
Professor Steve, Thanks for all of your lectures. Today I have pass the CBSPD. it was my first try and I passed. I have never worked as a SPT and because of this I was very nervous, however I did ok. I cant thank you enough. I have watched all of your videos over and over for a month. Gracias, Shalom .
Steve, thank you for putting together this video. I have scrolled through your comments and see nothing but positives. I am a 43 old man with two kids and married and am making the change and have enrolled online for school through Ashworth College. I know I will need to get my practicals done with in 4 months . I plan to rewrite my resume to reflect the medical field and Sterile Processing now as well as apply this interview techniques and answers to these questions or similar ones. Thank you again.
thanks to your video, i nailed my interview. i got a scenario question similar to your example and immediately knew what to say. amazing instruction!! 🎉
I woke up this morning, searched YT for Interviewing sterile processing. listened intently throughout the video, pausing to take notes, repeat, play...3 hrs later, i had my panel interview w/the VA Administration and less than an hour later, i was offered the job...i attribute my successful interview process solely to the content in this video. Highly recommended for any interview, but it was particularly relevant in my case. Thank you.
*Runs to online resume and talks herself up* Sir, thank you so much for this video! I never knew this job existed and I can promise you I will be spreading the word about this opportunity with my peers and sharing this video CONTINUOUSLY!!!! God Bless you
resume of some sort is a must! I'm sure you have done something in your life that you can write about in a resume; baby sitting, raking leaves, washing dishes, taking care of elderly relative?!?! Thus, draft some sort of a resume by describing what you did in a professional light, go to the hospital or its website and apply! Tell the manager you watched all my videos and you love this field. Be brave and positive! You will get the job!
@Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline I wanna say thank you. I have watched your videos and put together with studying the crcst manual and today I went and took my exam. I passed it and I accredit it to you, my coworkers, my self studying, and also my girlfriend in quizzing me over the information you provided and sample questions from the workbook. So I would like to give you a big big thank you for putting these videos together and taking the time to help people like me thank you!
So its definitely possible to get a job without ever having a job that was on the books? For instance I worked as a landscaper under the table and was also working for a moving company under the table.
Certified through both IAHCSMM and CBSPD and been through several SPD Interviews in past couple of months, common questions include; Tell us about yourself ? Why do you want to work in Sterile Processing? What have you done to prepare for this interview ? Why do you want to work for this facility ? In a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate your attendance, explain why ? Give us an example of Customer Service in where you successfully resolved an issue, how did you go about in handling the situation and what was the outcome ? How would you go about in establishing credibility with your team members ? Share a time when you willingly took on additional responsibilities or challenges. How did you successfully meet all of the demands of these responsibilities? How would you handle a situation in where a Doctor needs an instrumentation right away however it is not sterile ? How would you deal with an Angry Irate Doctor needing a particular set however it is not ready ? How do you handle conflict with co-workers ? In your evaluation from previous experience, what were the positive points your Co-Workers said about you ? What were the negatives ? Tell us about a time you dealt with a Co-Worker who wasn’t doing their fair share of the work, what did you and what was the outcome ? What are your strengths and weaknesses ? Where do you see yourself in 3 to 5 years ? Describe your experience in working with scopes/endoscopy ? Is there anything else you would like to add, and why should we hire you ?
I have a job interview tomorrow sterile processing tech and another interview at a different hospital in January. You're awesome great teacher. I like this guy.
Wow, thank you for this! I just got my foot in the door in the hospital as EVS aide and I plan to take full advantage of this opportunity. Sterile processing or surgical tech is on list!
I just wanted to comment that this video on interviews is simply brilliant! I have 6 teens at home and after I watch it again and make an outline, I am going to have them all watch and study it, write their answers and rehearse, rehearse, rehearse! These tips would enable even the quietest person project confidence, intelligent and leave a positive, favorable impression. Honestly, I feel like I struck gold finding this -- thank you Steve!!!
I was also a pulmonary manager and worked for the hospital and clinic. I've never got rejected on any interview in my life. I just have a natural confidence, I'm honest, I'm professional, and I don't do all this practicing, hiding personal things, I just answer the questions directly, sincerely and to the point. I'm an incredibly hard worker, I don't mince my worth, I was a felon and STILL got hired so no I can't lie or hide my personal life, I am accountable for my past, I worked my tail off to change my life and I use my second chance with all I've got. I follow rules, I listen, I do as I'm told and I ask questions and admit my mistakes and do better every day. I think these are the keys to getting a job and passing an interview.
Hello Steve j Thank you for posting the sterile processing interview. I used your method and put it into my own words and it work . For the first time I did good in a interview. It has open door for me . I'm a student of sterile processing.
51:48 "I will consider any reasonable offer that you would make to your best candidate." This is great stuff. I also loved the answer along the lines of: Be reasonable about it, but ask for what you need, and if it's too much for them, why would you even want it?
@@eleazarwalker9892 Hi. I hope you passed your exams. :) I have a sterile processing trainee interview next week. If you don’t mind me asking, are you working in the sterile processing field yet? Sorry so late.
You are a fantastic teacher and motivator. You are also very real, and I appreciate your advice :) These videos regarding Sterile Processing are great, keep them coming.
I am so glad I came across your video. I haven’t taken my crcst test am panning to take it end of march . I been looking for a job and I recently found one . I just had interviews today and let me tell you all the questions you put down I was asked . I took your approach and listen to your answers very well. I literally said the way you taught here . And I really feel very good how I answer them and it was all thanks to you . I always get nervous about interviews and I never know how to answer these questions so you made it super easy . Thank you so much.
I'm so happy for you and that I was able to help. I hope you get the job with great pay. Wishing you much success and please let us know If you get the job.
Hi Steve, I can't thank you enough for all of the great information and advice you've given me. I have been looking for a lower-stress job than my past career as a respiratory therapist. Your excellent videos on sterile processing have made me interested in pursuing a career in SP. I plan to watch all of your videos. I might need to ask you a question or two in the next few weeks as I learn more about this career. Many thanks, Steve!
@@BostonCareerInstitute I didn't get it due to another iterviewee having more experience however heard through the grapevine at the hospital that I interviewed very well.
I would like to thank you for all the videos you've shared. I've learned a lot from you & I have my second interview tomorrow. In my first interview, I told them I've been learning from the BCI videos on youtube & they were impressed enough to call me back for the second & final interview. I was a certified combat lifesaver in the army & my only qualification was my BLS Cert. It's all on how you present yourself :D
+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Thank you. I sure will. Btw ... i'm a 54 yr young man. I have a goal to be a surgery technician. They know this. It's not your age, it's your attitude and it's never too late to make a career change.
+fitoverfifty that's awesome. I'm sure that you will do amazingly well. One word of advice, shoot a little bit higher and invest a little more time to get an RN. With that, you can do surge tech and beyond. Only 2 years, many more options.
+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Thanks for that tip Steve. I'm just thrilled beyond words that I've made it to the second interview w/o having any sterile processing certs other than my BLS and my college bio courses. I believe in my heart I got this. - Gary
Thank you for your video, I took notes and practiced your questions and I got the Job!!! My only experience was my externship. The first question was: tell me about yourself, then what are your strengths and weaknesses, why do you want to work here, why should I hire you?
I’m interviewing for a SPT job soon as well as a few other jobs. This lecture is excellent! I will be applying this information to my future interviews in any field
I currently work for the government in SPD and have an interview today at another hospital for a technician position. However I will be sharing your videos with my current educator. Lots of great info!
Thank you sir I got SPD job because of you. From beginning of my career I'm watching your video and taking note . You had the biggest impact in my career. You are the perfect teacher I recommend everyone to listen to you
@@BostonCareerInstitute just to let you know I got the job as a sterile technician in the hospital but I have recommended this video to all of my colleagues as it can be applied for any interview. Thanks Mr Steve!
This video is so awesome! I’m so happy to have found this because I have a couple interviews this month and this has really psyched me up for them!!! You are a great teacher !
Sterile processing is not my major ... But im still listening to the skills and knowledge you have teaching about .. "How to be professional for an interview" .. You are the definition of a hardworking, caring, and passionate professor.. Thanks :)
I have worked as an Office Manager/Executive Assistance for the past 15 plus years. I found that our local Hospital is hiring Sterile Processing Technicians (and will provide training). I applied for the job and have a phone interview this coming Monday! I'm glad I found this video on UA-cam! Thank you !
I have a Sterilization Tech phone interview tomorrow with absolutely no experience; didn’t even go to school so I’m very nervous. I’m worried what my talking points might be because I’ve been in fast food for 3 years but hearing you cover that area of Dunkin Donuts and breaking it down provides such a relief. Thank you!
Daisy Venture the funniest part was when he I was talking about Dunkin Donuts and said what kind of business do I bring to the table? Referring to Dunkin Donuts and the lady in the back said Sterile Processing. Lol
Thank you very much, I watched all your videos, especially this one. I watched it again and again until I remember it. Finally, I got the job at the first time of the job interview. ❤️
Hello, thank you so much for sharing and uploading these videos! Excellent professor! I just got a hired with the top Hospital! As an Inventory sterile processing technician!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us , this is going to come in so handy when I graduate ;). Thank you very much for sharing with us your expertise and your humor. I can't wait for the next video.
Thanks to you, I got the job!!! A lot of these questions were on my interview, and they said I did a very good job. With all the thanks to you!! Thank you sooooooo much!!!
This was a great presentation! I've decided that I'm completely switching careers (currently an accountant) and decided to look into the sterile processing field. These interview tips will definitely help me when it's time for me to look for a job after I complete the course. Thanks for posting this!
Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Oh yes, very sure! Even though I have my BS degree in Accounting, my heart has never really been in it. I am not a CPA, and have no desire to sit for the exam. I enjoy bookkeeping, and will still keep a couple of my bookkeeping clients when I make the change. I still need to work out the logistics of going back to school - the next class is in Feb at my local tech school, but that is the heart of tax season, so my goal is to enroll in the next class when it's offered. I look forward to it! In the meantime, I'm going to watch the rest of your videos. :)
Cetus X well, you have a degree so you know how to study. Why don't you listen to my lectures take careful notes and just take the test?!?! You will probably pass both the iahcsmm and the cbspd tests. Other people have..... No harm in trying
Steve you are the best of best teacher in this industry and your interview tips were really helpful for me to get through! Your voice are still echoing around my ears! I am a motivated, dedicated reliable....
Im applying for a 2nd job, but totally different from my field of study, television. Im applying for a high school academic coach, but the school principal happens to know me from years ago. I didn’t do so well, but I got myself straighten up, studied broadcasting communications and graduated with flying colors. The school saw me as a hopeless failing student, but I proved them all wrong with working hard and getting my degree. I’m hoping I can get such job to be an inspiration to the current students that there’s hope and second chances. I always watch your videos to mentally prepare myself.
I'm proud of you and you are an inspiration! I wouldn't worry about proving anyone else wrong. In many cases, people who made you feel hopeless are themselves hopeless, foolish and miserable. They won't understand or acknowledge your success and the true magnitude of your accomplishments as to do so would mean that they were wrong. You don't need their approval! Just go out there and do the best that you can and have fun doing it.
@@BostonCareerInstitute The school got back to me and they were impressed with my resume and cover letter. I keep watching your video to practice for my interview this Tuesday!! I'm excited yet a little nervous. Your video is extremely helpful for all career types even though you specifically made this for sterile processing.
Still can’t believe I self-studied for 3 weeks and passed the exam , thanks to this man. Everything he teaches is on the exam.
I look forward to putting all these valuable information to use during my interviews.
I appreciate you sir.

Tell us about yourself ?
Why do you want to work in Sterile Processing?
What have you done to prepare for this interview ?
Why do you want to work for this facility ?
In a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate your attendance, explain why ?
Give us an example of Customer Service in where you successfully resolved an issue, how did you go about in handling the situation and what was the outcome ?
How would you go about in establishing credibility with your team members ?
Share a time when you willingly took on additional responsibilities or challenges. How did you successfully meet all of the demands of these responsibilities?
How would you handle a situation in where a Doctor needs an instrumentation right away however it is not sterile ?
How would you deal with an Angry Irate Doctor needing a particular set however it is not ready ?
How do you handle conflict with co-workers ?
In your evaluation from previous experience, what were the positive points your Co-Workers said about you ? What were the negatives ?
Tell us about a time you dealt with a Co-Worker who wasn’t doing their fair share of the work, what did you and what was the outcome ?
What are your strengths and weaknesses ?
Where do you see yourself in 3 to 5 years ?

Thanks
very informative
This is by far the best info on a job interview hands down everytime I go on an interview I watch this. His methods work hands down.
That's great to hear. Glad this works for you.
I have a job interview tomorrow sterile processing tech and another interview at a different hospital in January. You're awesome great teacher. I like this guy.
Wishing you much success. Keep us posted on your success 👍
@@BostonCareerInstitute hi, are you working as a sterile processor now? how was it?
Wow, thank you for this!
I just got my foot in the door in the hospital as EVS aide and I plan to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Sterile processing or surgical tech is on list!
Awesome. Congratulations
How are you nowa
My resume will be perfect now. Can't wait for my next interview. Thank you. You are such a great teacher. Eye opener....
nmb nmb thank you and all the very best to you.
Thanks
How are you maria
I just wanted to comment that this video on interviews is simply brilliant! I have 6 teens at home and after I watch it again and make an outline, I am going to have them all watch and study it, write their answers and rehearse, rehearse, rehearse! These tips would enable even the quietest person project confidence, intelligent and leave a positive, favorable impression. Honestly, I feel like I struck gold finding this -- thank you Steve!!!
WOW, Thank you. all the very best and lots of luck!
I was also a pulmonary manager and worked for the hospital and clinic. I've never got rejected on any interview in my life. I just have a natural confidence, I'm honest, I'm professional, and I don't do all this practicing, hiding personal things, I just answer the questions directly, sincerely and to the point. I'm an incredibly hard worker, I don't mince my worth, I was a felon and STILL got hired so no I can't lie or hide my personal life, I am accountable for my past, I worked my tail off to change my life and I use my second chance with all I've got. I follow rules, I listen, I do as I'm told and I ask questions and admit my mistakes and do better every day. I think these are the keys to getting a job and passing an interview.
How are you divi
That's a great testimony!
Steve I nailed the interview with your help! Bless you & many thanks.
So glad to hear. Congratulations
Hello Steve j
Thank you for posting the sterile processing interview. I used your method and put it into my own words and it work . For the first time I did good in a interview. It has open door for me . I'm a student of sterile processing.
excellent. I'm very happy for you. wishing you all the best.
51:48 "I will consider any reasonable offer that you would make to your best candidate." This is great stuff. I also loved the answer along the lines of: Be reasonable about it, but ask for what you need, and if it's too much for them, why would you even want it?
Landed a job in a laboratory without having lab experience thank you so much
This video is so valuable to any interview a person would go into. Thank you so much for this, what a wonderful teacher and mentor.
Thank you for your post. I'm glad you found this helpful.
So inspirational! Thank you for bringing me more confidence in this career!
My most sincere pleasure. Thank you for your feedback.
you should change the title to "how to do well on an interview" because I think this can apply to a lot of other jobs...not just sterile processing :)
Aiko you are probably right but I was teaching the class to sterile processing people. thanks for watching and posting a comment
@@BostonCareerInstitute Hi , can you please help me with some studying materials to take the test are have taken it twice and are have fail .
This is a really good video. However the lady in the background needs to be more quite. She’s nerve racking. 😳
@@eleazarwalker9892 did you pass your test?
@@eleazarwalker9892 Hi. I hope you passed your exams. :) I have a sterile processing trainee interview next week. If you don’t mind me asking, are you working in the sterile processing field yet? Sorry so late.
You are a fantastic teacher and motivator. You are also very real, and I appreciate your advice :) These videos regarding Sterile Processing are great, keep them coming.
Rachel Gibson thank you, will do
How are you marie
Have my interview Friday, thanks for the tips... I'll be back with an update 👀
I am so glad I came across your video. I haven’t taken my crcst test am panning to take it end of march . I been looking for a job and I recently found one . I just had interviews today and let me tell you all the questions you put down I was asked . I took your approach and listen to your answers very well. I literally said the way you taught here . And I really feel very good how I answer them and it was all thanks to you . I always get nervous about interviews and I never know how to answer these questions so you made it super easy . Thank you so much.
I'm so happy for you and that I was able to help. I hope you get the job with great pay. Wishing you much success and please let us know If you get the job.
you're a good teacher sir.
He sure is.
Hi Steve,
I can't thank you enough for all of the great information and advice you've given me. I have been looking for a lower-stress job than my past career as a respiratory therapist. Your excellent videos on sterile processing have made me interested in pursuing a career in SP. I plan to watch all of your videos. I might need to ask you a question or two in the next few weeks as I learn more about this career. Many thanks, Steve!
awesome. ask any time and enjoy
I love this teacher, This teacher is absolutely incredible.
Thank you
Just found this 2H before my interview for sterile technician, let's hope I can make the most of this video
I'm sure you can. Let me know how you do.
@@BostonCareerInstitute I didn't get it due to another iterviewee having more experience however heard through the grapevine at the hospital that I interviewed very well.
@@tobiasglendenning7966 when one door closes another one opens. Congratulations to you for taking the first step. Upward and onward!
I would like to thank you for all the videos you've shared. I've learned a lot from you & I have my second interview tomorrow. In my first interview, I told them I've been learning from the BCI videos on youtube & they were impressed enough to call me back for the second & final interview. I was a certified combat lifesaver in the army & my only qualification was my BLS Cert. It's all on how you present yourself :D
All the very best to you! I hope you get that job. Write back and share the good news. Steve
+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Thank you. I sure will. Btw ... i'm a 54 yr young man. I have a goal to be a surgery technician. They know this. It's not your age, it's your attitude and it's never too late to make a career change.
+fitoverfifty that's awesome. I'm sure that you will do amazingly well. One word of advice, shoot a little bit higher and invest a little more time to get an RN. With that, you can do surge tech and beyond. Only 2 years, many more options.
+fitoverfifty like you said, its the attitude. Go Get Them!
+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Thanks for that tip Steve. I'm just thrilled beyond words that I've made it to the second interview w/o having any sterile processing certs other than my BLS and my college bio courses. I believe in my heart I got this. - Gary
Thank you for your video, I took notes and practiced your questions and I got the Job!!! My only experience was my externship. The first question was: tell me about yourself, then what are your strengths and weaknesses, why do you want to work here, why should I hire you?
Mabel Barrera awesome... Congratulations!
I’m interviewing for a SPT job soon as well as a few other jobs. This lecture is excellent! I will be applying this information to my future interviews in any field

Sterile processing is not my major ... But im still listening to the skills and knowledge you have teaching about .. "How to be professional for an interview" .. You are the definition of a hardworking, caring, and passionate professor.. Thanks :)
WOW thank you. Wishing you all the best!
I have worked as an Office Manager/Executive Assistance for the past 15 plus years. I found that our local Hospital is hiring Sterile Processing Technicians (and will provide training). I applied for the job and have a phone interview this coming Monday!
I'm glad I found this video on UA-cam! Thank you
!
Wishing you much success. Keep us posted to your Great accomplishments.
How are you mica
I have a Sterilization Tech phone interview tomorrow with absolutely no experience; didn’t even go to school so I’m very nervous. I’m worried what my talking points might be because I’ve been in fast food for 3 years but hearing you cover that area of Dunkin Donuts and breaking it down provides such a relief. Thank you!
Good luck! Once you get in get certified. Let me know if you get the job.
Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline update: I got offered the position!
How did phone interview go ?
Idk how this guy is but he’s an amazing teacher I’ve watch all the videos 🙌🏾
Thank you
I just finished my coursework and I’m about to start my clinicals. I’m pretty nervous about interviewing. I’ll come back with an update.
I'm sure you'll do well. Can't wait to hear your good news.
Great information just lady in the back ground was very annoying
+Daisy Aguilar I know :-)
now I hear her voice smh
+Joseph Morant lol 😊
doing to much lol
Daisy Venture the funniest part was when he I was talking about Dunkin Donuts and said what kind of business do I bring to the table? Referring to Dunkin Donuts and the lady in the back said Sterile Processing. Lol
Brilliant video! So useful. Gonna watch it a couple of times. Thank you, Steve!!!
How are you
We want more videos from you Steve. They are very informative.
Thank you so much for this valuable information! I can see this being useful for career searching in general.
absolutely. much success to you.
How are you tressa
Even my dad never teach me this. Thanks for the lesson
My pleasure. My best to your dad
Thank you very much, I watched all your videos, especially this one. I watched it again and again until I remember it. Finally, I got the job at the first time of the job interview. ❤️
Your success is my inspiration. Thank you for sharing and congratulations.
@@BostonCareerInstitute ❤❤❤
Be Positive, Professional and never Personal
I couldnt agree more thats why I didnt get the job
yea no personal information like showing the effects of your poor diet in public..
@@cpsims1972 what?
Hello, thank you so much for sharing and uploading these videos! Excellent professor! I just got a hired with the top Hospital! As an Inventory sterile processing technician!
That's great 👍 congratulations 🎉🍾🎊
You are amazing. I got the job plus a private 3-month bonus. Thank you!
Thank you. In fact, you are amazing and you deserve every cent you got. Good luck in your new career
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us , this is going to come in so handy when I graduate ;). Thank you very much for sharing with us your expertise and your humor. I can't wait for the next video.
Thanks to you, I got the job!!! A lot of these questions were on my interview, and they said I did a very good job. With all the thanks to you!! Thank you sooooooo much!!!
I'm so thrilled to hear that. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉. You deserve all the credit.
How are you aaali
I'm watching this for a 3rd time in the last 2 days. Interview in an hour, honestly feeling much more confident!
Go and get them. You can do it. Let us know how it goes for you.
This was a great presentation! I've decided that I'm completely switching careers (currently an accountant) and decided to look into the sterile processing field. These interview tips will definitely help me when it's time for me to look for a job after I complete the course. Thanks for posting this!
Cetus X WOW that's a drastic change. Are you sure?
Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Oh yes, very sure! Even though I have my BS degree in Accounting, my heart has never really been in it. I am not a CPA, and have no desire to sit for the exam. I enjoy bookkeeping, and will still keep a couple of my bookkeeping clients when I make the change. I still need to work out the logistics of going back to school - the next class is in Feb at my local tech school, but that is the heart of tax season, so my goal is to enroll in the next class when it's offered. I look forward to it! In the meantime, I'm going to watch the rest of your videos. :)
Cetus X well, you have a degree so you know how to study. Why don't you listen to my lectures take careful notes and just take the test?!?! You will probably pass both the iahcsmm and the cbspd tests. Other people have..... No harm in trying
Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Great idea! Thank you!
Thank you. This has helped me a lot. I have interview anxiety.
Try to have fun and enjoy yourself
Thanks a lot Steve. I appreciate your efforts.
Wonderful. Thank you
I learned a valuable lesson from watching this video. Thank you!
Very glad to help. Thank you for the lovely post.
Steve you are the best of best teacher in this industry and your interview tips were really helpful for me to get through!
Your voice are still echoing around my ears!
I am a motivated, dedicated reliable....
That's just great. Thank you for your kind words. Wishing you much success. Steve
How are you juli
Im applying for a 2nd job, but totally different from my field of study, television. Im applying for a high school academic coach, but the school principal happens to know me from years ago. I didn’t do so well, but I got myself straighten up, studied broadcasting communications and graduated with flying colors. The school saw me as a hopeless failing student, but I proved them all wrong with working hard and getting my degree. I’m hoping I can get such job to be an inspiration to the current students that there’s hope and second chances. I always watch your videos to mentally prepare myself.
I'm proud of you and you are an inspiration! I wouldn't worry about proving anyone else wrong. In many cases, people who made you feel hopeless are themselves hopeless, foolish and miserable. They won't understand or acknowledge your success and the true magnitude of your accomplishments as to do so would mean that they were wrong. You don't need their approval! Just go out there and do the best that you can and have fun doing it.
@@BostonCareerInstitute Thank you so much!! You're a fantastic teacher. Inspiring the many minds who came across your path.
@@BostonCareerInstitute The school got back to me and they were impressed with my resume and cover letter. I keep watching your video to practice for my interview this Tuesday!! I'm excited yet a little nervous. Your video is extremely helpful for all career types even though you specifically made this for sterile processing.
