Interview Primer

To properly prepare for interviews involves more than just tips and tricks, or reviewing as many questions as you can get your hands on… While most people prepare for interviews in this way, it is not the most effective way to prepare (at least it is not sufficient).

You need to be yourself, but make sure to be the best version of yourself.

This tool is useful for: MS4s who are preparing for their upcoming residency interviews
