@10:10 another great point here. I thought about what stories I had, and the different ways the question could be asked, so that I knew which story to pull. I was asked something like: a time you had to work under pressure, a time you had to overcome a challenge, a time that a patient made you anxious / nervous etc. I already forget how the question was asked but it was one of those versions, and on the inside I was like "yes! I have that card in my deck!!" 😂

I’ve been praying I’d be able to make one of these comments on your videos, and I am! Thank you for all of your videos and advice Mary; I was offered my dream job as a new grad resident in the OR. I’m so grateful I found your channel. Happy New Year and thank you again ❤

Congrats! You are very welcome!:)

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your videos, Mary! It was SO helpful. I only went to 2 interviews, but I was MORE than prepared after watching several of your new grad videos. I got offered both positions in less than 24 hours. One question that came up that would have caused me some trouble if I hadn't heard it in one of your videos was "can you think of a time that you worked in a group and not everyone was pulling their weight? And what did you do?" JUST happened to be in one of your videos. It jogged my memory to the QI project I had to do in school with fellow classmates and i kept suggesting ideas but my classmates would just agree with me on everything and say "that's fine with me, thanks for taking care of this!" I needed to get the group on a video call and have each person pick a specific task to complete so that everyone was more engaged.. We agreed to do a follow up chat a week later and everyone had completed their task. I still served as the unofficial team lead, but I think it's important that someone is the leader that ties everything together, and I believe I did a good job of that. We got an A on our project in the end.

@27:20 I also wore flats. I feel like you can look too rigid and inflexible in heels. I wanted to look like I was agile 😂

Mary thank you so much your advice and videos helped me score my third and final interview which is shadowing the unit, it’s only 4 hours and I’m trying to really get this job, any advice for my shadowing day?
