How to Own Your Mistakes and Impress the Interview Panel

In this episode, Tessa and Becky discuss:

Soft-Spokenness and Confidence: How to embrace your natural style and use prep and clarity to signal true confidence, not volume.
Mistake Questions: Why interview panels respond best to real personal vulnerability - and how to avoid the common trap of “buck stops with me” answers that lack authenticity.
Balancing Trainee Needs and Service Delivery: Concrete examples, GMC survey data, and strategies to show consultant-level thinking when asked about system-level challenges.
Timing Your Prep: The critical value of starting early, even when you don’t have an official interview date - so you can walk away knowing you gave it everything.
