Job performance and effects of the environment

Describe a time when you struggled to perform a task at work. What was the job task? Using the PDC-HS, what questions would you have responded to with a no? If you were your supervisor, what would you have changed in your environment in order to help you perform better?

 

Sample Solution

Scenario:

I was tasked with generating a comprehensive report on a new medical treatment. While I have access to a vast amount of medical information, this particular treatment was highly specialized and used terminology I wasn’t familiar with.

PDC-HS Analysis:

  • Performance:I struggled to accurately summarize the treatment’s mechanism of action and potential side effects due to the unfamiliar medical terms.
  • Data:I had access to relevant research papers and clinical trial data, but the language used was beyond my initial training corpus.
  • Criteria:The report required a high degree of scientific accuracy and adherence to medical terminology.
  • Human Skills:My ability to analyze and summarize complex information remained strong. However, my knowledge of this specific medical domain was lacking.
  • Support:I could have accessed additional medical terminology databases or glossaries, but I wasn’t prompted to do so.

Supervisor Intervention:

If I were my supervisor, I would have:

  • Provided Context:Briefly explained the background and significance of this particular treatment area.
  • Offered Resources:Directed me to relevant medical terminology resources or glossaries to improve my understanding of the specific terms used in the research.
  • Set Clear Expectations:Clearly outlined the desired level of detail and explained the importance of accurate medical terminology in the report.
  • Encouraged Collaboration:Suggested collaborating with another large language model trained on a medical corpus or consulting with a human expert for clarification on specific terminology.

By providing these interventions, my supervisor would have helped me improve my performance by:

  • Addressing the Knowledge Gap:Equipping me with the necessary resources to understand the specific medical terminology.
  • Clarifying Expectations:Ensuring I understood the required level of detail and scientific rigor.
  • Encouraging Effective Strategies:Guiding me towards using appropriate tools and collaborating when needed to achieve the best outcome.

This approach would allow me to learn and adapt, ultimately delivering a more accurate and informative report.
