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-ep62\nThe biggest mistake people make in consultant interviews is thinking the job is already decided before anyone walks into the room. Tessa and Becky bust the four myths they hear from students week after week, that the job is earmarked for someone else, that being a good interviewee is something you're born with, that your CV isn't good enough, and that prep will take over your life, and explain why none of them actually hold up.\nWe also review a golden example about working within an MDT that the student almost didn't use because she felt like it wasn't a success, and explain why changing your original plan based on team feedback is actually a stronger, more senior story than pushing a plan through unchanged. From there we tackle a genuinely tricky interview question, \"tell us about a time you were uncivil\", and how to find the balance between oversharing something awful and pretending you've never been anything but perfect.\nFinally, our most commonly delivered tip: take a pause before you start answering. We explain why that split-second silence, even though it feels excruciating in the moment, changes the entire quality of your answer, and why saying \"thank you for the question\" is not the same thing.\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}
