Interviewing

Published on: 20th August, 2020

We are joined again by Dr. Rachel Legg to talk about Interviewing

The key take-aways from this episode is:

  • Review lists of common questions and prepare answers for SITUATIONAL questions
  • Record yourself and listen (both video and audio). It's horrible listening to yourself, but you'll learn so much about your filler words and ticks
  • Do several mock interviews. Career services usually offers these for free.
  • Practice using the S.T.A.R. or S.T.A.R.T. method which stands for Situation, task, action, result or take-away. This will help you go through the hardest type of questions which are situational questions.
  • Dress professional during interviews
  • You are on the interview the entire time, don't get lax or too comfortable when you are talking to residents.
