Tessa spent years as the nervous interviewee who completely froze, failing to get into paediatric training more than once because her interview technique let her down. Tessa and Becky share the origin story of how that experience turned into the system that’s now helped thousands of doctors land their dream jobs, and why being good at interviews isn’t a trait you’re born with, it’s a skill you build like any other.
We also review a duty of candour example involving a bladder injury during a right hemicolectomy, and unpack the tricky question of whether it works when the mistake was your own. From there we tackle a genuinely deep interview question, “what would you like your legacy to be, years or decades later, when you leave this job”, and how to answer it without falling back on something vague like “a good doctor who cared about patients.”
Finally, our tip of the week: keep your game face on. Don’t undermine a good answer with an eye roll or a wince at the end, because your read on how it’s going is almost never as accurate as you think, and the panel will believe whatever your face tells them.
