Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The student leading the tour seemed distracted. I think as a busy medical student this is understandable, but I was a little put off in how timid he was in taking us to some of the wards.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you can get a good map of the hospital from the help desk if you interview at DHMC. Also, I would recommend asking the lady at the help desk for directions as well. I got lost.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview and I was extremely nervous. I think it probably was apparent and affected the interview. My best advice is to relax as much as possible and use the opportunity to have a discussion with the interviewer. I felt that I was in the mode of answering specific questions followed by awkward pauses. My first interviewer was very nice - I didn't realize how nice until I met me second interviewer. Not that the second guy was mean, maybe a little pompous, it is just that he would look through papers as I was answering his questions.
