When going for your doctors interview, be prepared to reveal to the interview panel that you will function as a safe doctor and take responsibility for the care of your patient, within the limits of your competence.

The interview is essentially a conversation between you and the panel. The conversational rules are altered slightly in this setting and in order to help the negotiation work for you, it is important that you understand the rules and play to win. Your success is probably going to come down to an exchange of about 20 words during the whole interview, which somehow strikes a chord with the members of the interview panel. One of your major challenges is that you do not know which of your 20 words they will be!

Be aware that this is all a game and investing the time needed to better follow the rules is going to be well spent.
There are specific skills and strategies that you should be prepared to exploit in your bid to successfully secure your post.
You can learn more about them for free in this Video on Medical interview Skills. But for a start, ensure that your CV helpfully summarises your training in a manner that highlights your experience and achievements.

Explore how you can sell your team playing, leadership, communication and stress handling skills - amongst other generic skills. There are also managerial skills that you will already have displayed in some form during your training so far - work out how you are going to discuss these factors.

Essentially there are two goals that you have to achieve in order to succeed in your interview:

1. You have to sell your skills to meet the needs of the organisation
2. You must gain rapport with the interview panel

If you work on these two goals, your candidacy will inevitably be enhanced.
