Saw @.👽. post about him failing an interview in the IT field. I was going to post this as a response but figured it'd help more people if I made a separate thread about it.


It never hurts to overdress. If you're applying for a floor sweeper position, come dressed in a shirt and a tie. If you're applying for something more serious, always wear a suit. Think hygiene/clean shaven/well groomed beard, etc.

Prepare written out responses for commonly asked questions. If interviewing on zoom, you can read them out loud verbatim (make sure to make eye contact with the camera, and get $20 lights off of amazon for purer picture quality) or if interviewing in person, you can bring a sheet of paper with checklists/talking points.

I use these lights because I can place them at either side of my laptop for best lighting.

For my residency interviews I had a paragraph ready for each such question:
  • What are you strengths? Provide examples for each one; usually 3 strengths is enough.
    • I'm goal-oriented. I recognized the need to improve my fund of woking medical knowledge which would translate to better patient care activities so I did a little reflection, changed my study habits, improved my test taking skills and achieved my goal of scoring 250+ on STEP 2.
  • Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
    • Residency committee (ie. associate program director), fellowship, recognized societies
  • Tell me about yourself
    • Figure out what's important about your field. In my field, it's important to be smart and a people's person.
    • Mine goes like this:
      • I am a candidate with years of research and clinical experience under my belt along with a demonstrated track record of working well with others: for example, when i worked in neuroscience I collaborated with scientists across four different continents.
      • Followed by how I became interested in the field +/- what I aim to accomplish
      • My unique dual degree and what that experience brings to the table
      • On a more personal note....I am from ....and in my free time I enjoy.......
  • Tell me about a conflict that you've had with a colleague.
    • Maintain dialogue, importance of listening as well as being heard, and if can't be resolved, step it up to superior
    • I mention that the healthcare setting is no place to have these conflicts due to possible harm to the patients
  • What's your biggest weakness? Demonstrates that you've sat down and reflected on who you are. Also, talk about how you're amending this to turn this into a strength.
  • How do you stand out?
    • I bring my skillset into this ie., research experience (research assistant positions and running my own projects). ACGME now requires residents to do research, so I don't need much supervision and can assist others when needed. I can also lead when called upon (example from an experience).
  • I have a paragraph written out about each of my past research experiences because sometimes it's difficult to lay down a short & meaningful description on the spot.
  • Why our program?
    • Basically how they will be useful to you +/- how you will be useful to them
    • Your program produces well rounded .... physicians who can jump into a....... practice or practice within a limited scope should they choose. The unopposed program structure nurtures this well roundedness. The diversity of the patients whether they come from the urban setting to small rural communities is key in a comprehensive learning experience. I also appreciate that your program is part of a university. It’s been my goal to one day become faculty in a residency program and I think that the university setting will not only help foster my teaching skills but also establish life long connections.

      For these reasons, It would be a delight, and a privilege to be part of your team.
      OR
    • I believe that your programs offers that excellent and comprehensive residency experience that I am looking for. It produces well rounded ........physicians
      Which is demonstrated by:
      1. excellent didactics
      2. superb mentorship with distinguished experts in the field
      3. diversity in patient demographics [with a focus on the underserved]
      4. diversity in my resident cohort
      5. diverse pathology
      6. → which will lead tol just great career preparation overall
      7. Additionally mention why the geographic area is important (support group, familiarity with the area if out of town)
  • Why this field? Have well thought out answers reflecting that it's not a spur of the moment type thing and that you have a deeper understanding of the field.

Back in my truancy days, I went to some guy's apartment to hang out and his roommate literally took acid and went to his job interview. :feelsgood:
 
I bought propranolol for a job interview, it didn't do shit and I was still very nervous. didn't get the job cause of this but I'll try the advice in this thread ty bro. its difficult to get a job with no experience living in a remote place, even as a graduate
