‘Interview practice in a non threatening environment’

‘Excellent. Practising interviews in front of a large panel was realistic and good practice for the day’

‘I thought the workshop was well structured and the informal environment allowed for good discussion opportunities. The mock interviews were eye-opening and the suggested question sheets useful for interview practice. Thank you’

‘More informal than I thought. It created a “safe” confidential environment well. There were also good handouts with list of questions and ideas to access political/NHS info’’

‘Although I was extremely anxious about the panel interview, I felt the facilitator put me at ease. She ensured I went last in order to see what others did and I didn’t feel stupid. I think she facilitated the group discussions very well and steered us back on course when, as doctors, we strayed into our comfort zones of talking about medical facts instead of structure, etc. Thanks very much’’
