💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why dentistry and not any other occupation in the health industry?
What was the most interesting question?
Say a train was speeding towards a fork in the track. One side of the fork was an alternate route and has not been functional in 10yrs. A boy is playing on that side. The other side of the fork is functional and has fifteen people on the track. You only have time to let one group know that a train is coming. Who would you try to save?
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing really difficult, except for the random question above.
