Aims | The conference has two main purposes and benefits for the prospective employee and the employer: To raise the level of interviewing skills in order that interview candidates are more prepared and therefore better-abled to represent themselves. This is intended to help level the interview playing field so that extrovert performers do not gain a disproportionate advantage over other equally or better qualified candidates. With enhanced advance preparation and interview skills the candidates will be able to more accurately assess their own suitability for a specific post and thereby help minimise the ‘square peg in a round hole syndrome’. This improves the recruitment process and helps Trusts / hospitals to employ consultants better suited to their requirements. The programme is designed to provide information on what the interviewing panel are looking for. It also systematically proceeds through all the stages of the interview process and provides practice and tips on responding to difficult questions and challenging situations. Numerous details are provided including checklists for the stages of the recruitment and selection process; interviewing; difficult questions, consultant contract etc. During the afternoon, each delegate is interviewed by a panel of colleagues. They are assessed with the use of a checklist and oral feedback is given on performance by colleagues. If you would like to record your interview bring your smartphone and this can be fitted to a tripod, thus enabling you to revisit and, perhaps, revise your interview performance. | ||
