The Interview matters the most

But is prepared for the least.

Even if you've passed the mandatory GSSE and Clinical Exam, have an amazing resumé, and have the references to support you - you're still only just getting started. Usually weighted the highest in any healthcare job, the Interview is the single-most important career steppingstone to getting you into your dream specialty. Whether you're a medical student, pre-training registrar or anywhere in between - the vast majority of candidates treat it like any other checkbox chore, and then wonder why they get knocked back. Being studious, a great colleague, and an outstanding clinician are no longer enough - the Interview is the level playing field in which you must earn your success - and we're here to show you exactly how.
