Getting the interview is just the half the battle. If getting a pre-match
or matching to the program of your choice is your goal, a solid interview is
where it all happens.
By now you should have reviewed the interview questions and answers available on
this site, if not, be sure you to get that first. You should have
performed research on the program where you will be intereviewing. Start
with their webpage and dig into the hospital's activities and affiliations.
Now it's time to test your interviewing skill. With a 30-minute practice
interview, you get a chance to know whether you are really prepared or will you
fluster when actually speaking to someone other than the mirror? How many
times did you say "um" in the interview? Do you speak confidently? Too fast?
Clearly?
The interviewer will ask you real and common questions for 20 minutes (typical
length of a residency interview) and provide detailed and constructive feedback
on your interviewing strengths and weaknesses for the remaining 10 minutes.
Logistics:
- Upon receipt of payment, ResidencyInterviewPrep.com will email you asking for
a date/time and phone# that you can be reached at for the practice interview.
- We will email you a reminder 24 hours before the scheduled interview.
Having ample practice answering interview questions before your actual interview will ensure that
you maintain your composure and answer confidently to questions. So are you
ready to answer "Why should this program be interested in you?" or "Why
do you want to join this program"?
