Tessa and Becky tackle a genuinely tricky situation: what do you do if you get offered a job you'd take, while you're still waiting to hear about the one you actually want? We talk through the honesty balance, when to mention a second interview and when to hold off, so you don't burn a bridge in a small speciality where everyone remembers who let them down.\nWe also review a mistake example involving a missed lab result and a wrong contact number, and dig into why the most important test for any mistake story is whether it was really your mistake to own. From there we look at a lovely, low-stakes interview question, \"how do you balance the demands of clinical practise with your personal well-being\", and why this is actually one of the easier ones to get right.\nFinally, our tip of the week: get someone to fire random questions at you with zero prep time, because that's a lot closer to the real thing than rehearsing an answer you already know is coming.\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/r1C9mKHP-zQqAWbU1jrkfwvM46ZooTGLAIQSzc4mWwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZmFh/ZjdhNWI2ZDFmZTZm/OTMwMjE3YzVhYTIw/OWQ4ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
