Summary
Join me for my free live training: https://info.medicalinterviewprep.com/webinar-p In this episode of the Ace Your Consultant Interview podcast, Tessa and Becky answer a real student question about a 10‑minute presentation titled “Challenges in my specialty in the next five years”. They walk through how to narrow your content down to three clear themes, link them to the NHS long‑term plan, and weave in your USPs so your talk sounds like a presentation only you could give, not a generic specialty lecture. They then dissect a proposed “conflict with a colleague” example from clinic, showing how to decide if it’s safe enough, how to demonstrate de‑escalation and learning, and how to build in proactive communication so it lands well with a consultant panel. Next up is the question: “What do you think the challenges of the transition from trainee to consultant are?” Tessa and Becky explore how to acknowledge the step up in responsibility, delegation, time management, and governance, while still sounding ready, resilient, and coachable rather than either arrogant or out of your depth. They finish with a favourite Academy topic: cognitive derailers. You’ll hear how thoughts like “I’m rubbish at interview” or “they already have a preferred candidate” quietly sabotage your preparation, and what to do instead in the crucial weeks and days before your interview so you stop talking yourself out of the job and start preparing like the person they actually want to appoint.
