Opis

This short practical text uses a coaching approach to develop the reader’s interview skills. With increasing competition, doctors and healthcare professionals need to prepare well for success at interview. The author has successfully coached colleagues in the run-up to interviews using this approach. Readers will learn how to structure responses to reflect their personality, knowledge and experience. This approach encourages candidates to craft their responses in a compelling narrative that will help them stand out.Healthcare organisations are increasingly looking at assessment of values and behaviours as part of the recruitment process. This represents a shift from a more clinical competency-based approach and requires additional preparation for interview. This book will help coach clinicians to describe their own experience in this context.  The author is a practicing clinician, coach and led development of a clinical leadership and quality improvement training program for doctors and dentists and training in the UK. This book is aimed at doctors and healthcare professionals in training positions and those moving to a new role.
