Careers
Arrive early – to allow time to find the interview room and compose yourself – but not too early!
Be yourself!
Be positive and enthusiastic
Be interesting (don’t bore the interviewer. Give relevant answers, illustrated with specific examples)
Be truthful (if you’re not and it’s discovered that you got the job under false pretences, you could be dismissed and referred to the GMC)
Above all, make it pleasant for the interviewer to interview you.
