## Resource

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 tackle a problem more common than you might think: what to do when you end up with two NHS consultant interviews in the same week. They walk through how to treat this as an opportunity rather than a crisis, including managing twice the number of pre-interview visits. They also explore how (and when) to tell panels that you have more than one interview, how to make each job sound like your genuine first choice in the room, and how to plan the conversation if you receive an offer while still waiting for another interview. You’ll hear a “golden example” of conflict with a patient and learn how to trim a long, clinical story into a punchy 30‑second answer that showcases calm de‑escalation and insight.​ Finally, Tessa and Becky break down the question “What support will you need coming into this role?”, linking it to your pre‑prepared weakness and showing you how to sound self‑aware without undermining your appointment.
