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.
