Join the waitlist for my Ace Your Consultant Interview Academy. I’ll let you know as soon as the Academy doors open\nhttps://medicalinterviewprep.com/waitlist?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=transistor&utm_content=t-ep63\n\nThe doctors who say “I’ll do it next time” are the same people who end up panicking with two weeks to go. Tessa and Becky break down the reasons doctors give for putting their prep off, from “I haven’t got time” to “it’s too early to start,” and why none of them hold up. We also tackle a question we get all the time: is it OK to go to a consultant interview just for practice? The answer is a firm no, and we explain why it wastes the panel’s time and doesn’t even give you a fair test of your performance.\nWe also review a golden example for conflict with a colleague, a disagreement over antibiotics for an immunocompromised child, and ask the key question: is it actually a conflict? From there we look at a genuinely tough interview question, “what risks do you pose to the organisation if you’re appointed?”, and how to answer it without saying “none” or digging yourself a hole.\nFinally, our tip of the week: stop scripting your answers. Writing everything down feels safe, but it isn’t preparing you for the real thing, where questions come in unexpected versions and you have to answer on the spot. We explain what to do instead.\nSign up for our free 5-day email course to give you a Crash Course To Ace Your Consultant Interview: https://aceyourconsultantinterview.com/?utm_source=YTPod&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/t1nNixQGvIxrZ9p1gGU6RokkE6RpUXcIER2nu3uQgek/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hMDJl/ZDQ3YzhlYWYxMDU3/Yjg0NGNkOTMxMDYy/Mjc4Mi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
