Summary
There are several hurdles to a successful medical career: these include success at a training programme interview for junior doctors, passing postgraduate examinations and success at the consultant interview.
Want the job
If you feel that you have trained for the post for which you are applying, you will perform much better than those who apply for a job about which they are ambivalent. Interviews are competitive and it is very rare for the best qualified candidate not to interview well and be offered the job. Therefore, your experience and relevant skills should be visible and clearly outlined in your curriculum vitae (CV). A post with a specialist interest should have an application form that mirrors the requirements of the post.
