2010 Interviews....

[Dr Shadow]

I'm just wandering, will they send a letter first or will they just update track?

[talknerdytome]

Not sure, I would guess track? But then they did all the interview by post. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Good luck everybody!

[crawford]

dunno when we'll hear,hope it's not too long into march, the wait is killin me. n e one know when it was last yr?

Having a look at the thread from last year it seems some people got e-mails on the 27th of Feb, but others didn't find out until April.

I thought the hard part was over, but even my dissertation isn't distracting me!

Now that all the interviews are over, how do people feel they went? The interviewers for mine were very friendly and chatty!!

[talknerdytome]

The interviewers were really nice. One of them started quizzing me on nerve structure (mean, as I don't have a science background!) but i'm guessing he just wanted to see how I cope under pressure. I'm not feeling overly confident though, I just get the feeling I wasn't what they wanted =[

I felt that the interview was quite tough, despite the fact that the interviewers were pleasant. I was asked about the usuals but also a tricky one...."give us your thoughts on Validation". I was a bit stumped on that and started talking about auditing within the NHS! I honestly could not tell after the interview whether it went well or not. I was the last person to be interviewed that day which meant sitting in that room for over 6 hours!! Was knackered by the time my slot dame around at 5pm....and I could tell they were too! I don't know how they narrow it down, I'm sure we all go in with the same bla bla bla...it's anyone's I suppose unless you mucked up really badly! The facilities were nice though ; )

Wow nerve structure and validation, those are quite tough interview questions. I got a random question about what would a patient expect from a graduate entry medic rather than a 5 year entry medic. Really wasn't sure what they wanted in that I found it quite personal and the usual why medicine and swansea!! Literally reeled off my personal statement and stuff from the site about the course :s
