Trying to give the “perfect” answer can work against you.
Honesty builds trust in interviews.
Be clear about your goals. Be true to yourself.
#MedEd#MedicalInterviews
Your first role does not have to be your final destination.
Starting in A&E can give you the insight you need to understand the system and prepare for your next step.
Follow what genuinely interests you, even if others question it.
#MedEd#MedicalCareers#Psychiatry
Your portfolio is your proof of progress.
As a non trainee, focus on meaningful evidence, not ticking boxes.
Keep it simple. Keep it relevant.
#MedEd#MedicalPortfolio
“ There are no jobs ” is not always true.
Speak to people. Ask questions. Get real insight.
And do not rush your CV. A strong supporting statement can make the difference.

The first 2 weeks matter more than you think.
Shadowing isn’t just observation, it’s how you learn fast, build confidence, and understand real clinical decision making.
Show up early. Stay longer. Follow closely.
That’s how things start to click.

Thinking about applying for medical training or an academic post?
Here is simple advice: just apply.
Many of the skills overlap with general medical training applications. Even if you are unsure, applying gives you valuable experience and could open new opportunities.
