⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The interviewers were extremely pleasant and made me feel comfortable.
Some of the questions threw me off: a few of the them were drawn
from the "describe your strengths and weaknesses" part of the essay, and
I felt like I was being encouraged to incriminate myself! Nothing on Nova
Scotia health policies per se, although privatization came up.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
One of your colleagues in the hospital isn't doing their share
of work..what do you do?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Practice interviews including one video-taped, read parts of Romanow report,
rehearsed typical questions particularly "why medicine?"
What was the most difficult question?
I wrote as one of my weaknesses that I can be judgemental: they
asked "In what situations would you be judgmental? If a
patient smoked? What if their child had cystic fibrosis? Etc."
What impressed you positively?
The friendliness of the medical students and staff; Halifax
is also just a very chilled out town. I liked that the interview
was held in a children's clinic: it tickled me to sit on these tiny
chairs and drink juice with all of us in suits.
What impressed you negatively?
