I was successful in my first consultant interview thanks to Medmock
Medmock was a massive help in preparing for my consultant interview. I took an interview course and realised that thinking through an answer to a question is much easier than speaking it aloud to a panel. Medmock changed that.
The platform enabled me to make the questions bespoke for my interview by inputting information from the job advert and person specification. I was then able to tackle real-life questions at my own pace and in my own time.
Through repeated practice, I learned how to structure answers to interview questions and deliver eloquent, thought-out answers to challenging and probing questions and scenarios. The feedback and model answers helped me rethink and refine. The platform identified my weaker topic areas, and clarified important NHS hot topics for me.
On the day of the interview, I felt well and truly prepared. I was able to give clear and eloquent answers to all of the panel's questions, some of which I had answered several times in Medmock. I was able to think about making my answers sound less rehearsed, rather than thinking about how to answer the question.
This was my first substantive consultant interview and I got the job. In no small part thanks to Medmock. "If you aren't talking you aren't learning." This is so true. With so many of our medical and surgical training hurdles being governed by viva style exams and interviews, practising out loud is vital to success. Medmock is like the exam buddy I prepared for FRCS with, but was available at any time, gave me accurate criticism and told me how to improve. Thank you.
