A version of this question comes up at the start of almost every interview. What does an interviewer want to hear when he asks this question? He’s probably not interested in your toy car collection, or the fact that you was a spelling bee champ in grade school. He wants to know what brought you here, to this interview, and in the medical profession.
Interviewers unanimously say that the first two minutes are very important, so do a lot of preparation in order to make that vitally good first impression.
The first thing you need to do is write down an answer that highlights why you decided to go into the medical field, your educational experiences (if you have just graduated – if not, your job experiences) and your personality attributes that make you a good fit for this job. A good estimate is 120-160 words per minute. Then practice this spiel and make sure you keep it concise and logical, and also natural – you don’t want to sound like you are only reciting it. Don’t worry if you repeat a lot of the things on your resume; it is likely that your interviewer has only spent two minutes reading it before the interview, and will appreciate a refresh.
