4 steps of the onion layer
Context- what happened during the situation- paint the picture
What did the doctor/yourself actually do?
How did this affect patient care, and what would happen if the doctor did
not act in this way, what are the consequences. How did this affect the
patient holistically.
Evaluation- what did you learn from the situation, what specific skills did
you learn AND how are you actively trying to implement this skill in your life
Communication
We communicate to make others feel positive. Communication is the ability to
effectively get your ideas across and make the interviewer feel your message.
Within the first couple of minutes, you need to connect with the interviewers
heart, by engaging in the conversation and not sounding like a robot.
Make the interviewer laugh, make the interviewer proud (talk about
achievements, articulate yourself in a way where you seem complex etc), break
the boredom, make them feel intrigued, teach them something (do not
patronize the interviewer though, just speak about something you are
passionate about) and offer a new perspective.
In terms of questions, a lot of them are the same, just differently worded, so
you can mold your prepared answers around that.
