Sarah kept losing interviews to anxiety and over-reading until she took the Academy's prep course. Thirty minutes daily of short videos on topics like Martha's Law and EDI, plus techniques like the pause and three-point answer format, replaced her panic with calm confidence.
I have always said that I'm not very good at interviews, and to be honest, I had a locum interview, um, and, uh, even though the job was created for me, I still came second, which was really heartbreaking. And that's what really inspired me to go out and find all the best interview prep that I could, and I was advised to come to this course by a colleague, and I'm very glad I did. I always struggle with the reading challenge, the desire to read everything and anything there was so much fear of the unknown, like I should be reading 15 million reports and digesting it and understanding it and being able to reproduce it. One of the first onboarding messages was to kind of commit X amount of time per day. That's what I did, and I found that actually it was quite easy to fit in half an hour a day, and I think I did a lot more most days. And it was kind of finding that discipline, and the reading actually, I The thing I liked probably the most about this academy was the pre-prepared videos on different topics such as Martha's Law or EDI. Really, really, really useful in short bite-sized delivery. It took away all that reading time. I could just sit and listen and digest it and turn it into my own knowledge and my own interview answers. I felt really confident in a way that I've never felt for an interview before, and I, I felt that I'd done as much as I could. I didn't stay up late reading. I didn't— I wasn't in a panic. I just, I felt that I was as ready as I could be, and that if, if it wasn't— if I didn't get it the next day, then it wasn't— it wasn't meant to be, and it wasn't mine for the taking. I used the pause a lot, and I found that really centered me, and the 3-point answers was really good. And also just knowing from my— having thought about my unique selling points, I just made sure I told them what I wanted them to know about me. Just made me feel more confident. If you have a job that you want, then absolutely go for the Academy. It's, it's, it's brilliant. It will change your interview style. It will provide you with so much information, and it will really streamline your prep, um, in a way that will help you to do much, much better at the interview.
