INTERVIEW
Interview and presentation
.
Hints and tips before the interview:
7. Ensure you’ve considered your vision for the role and the wider strategic context. You will need to be able to articulate clearly what your key priorities would be over the next 12 months and what impact you would hope to have if appointed.
1. Ensure you know key information about the organisation such as: number of employees, strategic objectives, CQC reports and any USP etc.
2. Ensure you are aware of who is on the panel and their areas of expertise.
8. Take your pre-prepared examples into the interview as a prompt.
3. Consider the job description and requirements of the role you are applying for against your key values, skills, strengths, knowledge, and achievements. 4. Draft scenarios. Think about the types of questions you may be asked based on the job description and construct your ideal scenario- based answers using a STAR model (see below for STAR model). 5. When preparing your scenario questions consider how you’ve added value to the organisation, system, patients, team, and others within a strategic context. 6. Consider examples that in the recent past which demonstrate how you meet the role criteria.
9. Thinak about how you will get yourself in the right frame of mind on the day of the interview and how you will handle any difficult questions? 10. In addition to pre-interview preparation you should ensure that on the day of your interview, you arrive 10 - 15 minutes early as this will provide you with a buffer in case you encounter travel delay and will demonstrate punctuality. 11. You should also try to look as professional, in your appearance, as possible on the day of your interview.
Use this to prepare examples to demonstrate how you have succeeded before and will do it again.
