Interviewing Clerks

Interviewing clerks ask people questions to obtain information.

The type of information interviewing clerks request depends on the setting in which they work. For example, in a healthcare setting, they ask for the patient's name and address (and in this case, they are often called "admitting clerks").

Interviewing Clerks are in the Health Science career cluster and the Support Services pathway.
