When it comes to asking a person who to notify when the potential employee has an accident or in an emergency, an employer should simply ask that. An employer should not ask a potential employee the name and address of a relative to be notified in case of emergency or accident.

When it comes to asking a potential employee about organizations and activities that they belong to, an employer should ask, “Please list job-related clubs, professional societies, clubs, or other associations to which you belong. You may omit those which indicate your color, religious creed, race, age, national origin, sex, or ancestry”. An employer should not ask, “List all societies, lodges, organizations and clubs to which you belong”.

“Stressful” is the adjective that best describes a job interview. Why? Because you’re not quite sure on what are the questions the interviewer might ask. Newbies and those who were not interviewed for years usually buckle in their first sentences and that is normal.

It is important that you practice answering the most anticipated questions. Practicing gives you a feeling of confidence because in a way, you are assured that you are able to answer their questions. Listen to the questions properly. Do not rush in answering the questions because you might end up giving the wrong or out of this world answers and lastly, take a deep breath – this helps. Whew!

A prospective employee may be asked other questions like, “What salary do you expect”? Or, “Why do you want to work for this company”? Prospective employees may be asked about their skills and grades and should know the proper answers to these questions.

During an interview, a prospective employee should speak in a clear, firm voice and give direct answers. Practice going through an interview, phrasing your answers to possible questions. An evasive, hesitant answer immediately leaves doubt in the employer’s mind. Remember, too much can never be done to help your confidence and poise.

If you’re just getting into the job market, and you want to advance your career, chances are you’ll be asked to take an employment test. You’ve spent hours preparing your resume, practicing for that interview.
Don’t let a simple test take control of your career marketability.

Here’s why personality tests are unreliable:

They only measure different attitudes about things from different people. Your attitude about something in general cannot be used to predict how you’ll react to business situations.
They cannot predict behavior because behavior is context sensitive. People act differently in different situations.
They associate success with different personality types. In fact, personality requirements are different for different jobs.

What you need to do is prepare, and research to be able to understand the psychology behind these tests. Like the rest of the job search process, always do your homework. Research on personality test questions, and in no time you’ll know exactly how to answer the test questions.

By conducting a research, you can use what you have found to create a list of the top requirements and preferences of the employer, both official and unofficial.The list you have created will be your guide to the next two steps of the physician job interview preparation process. First, you will use that list to generate questions that you will be likely to encounter. Secondly, you will use that list to create answers to those questions, answers that paint the picture of yourself as a candidate who has the desired experiences, qualifications, attributes and history of results. A smart way to do this is to imagine that you asserted that you had these elements. How would you back that assertion up with proof from your job, personal and academic history? What examples would you give of your past job performance? What stories would you tell? These are the miniature narratives and examples that turn boring, informational answers into vivid and convincing interview responses.

The last step of the physician job interview process is practicing these answers. By working with a friend or interview partner, you can answer the predicted questions with your developed answers until that process becomes natural and organic for yourself. If you record your answers, that’s even better.
