I am back with another video for you guys Thank you guys so much for watching if you haven't seen it already I will leave a link for that video. It is my interview video where I talk about my experience in my interview session and I talk about the end of it Which was our group interview, which is what I'm going to talk about today Navigating the group interview. I know a lot of you are really like just scared and concerned about the group interview session and so I wanted to do a video about five Simple ways that you are gonna smash your group interview if you do these five tips You will definitely do well when doing my group interview There were some things that I learned and one of the main ones was don't be scared. You are scared I am not scared. I am Scared That is like number one do not be scared if you're afraid going in your fear is gonna show You're gonna be super nervous. You might say things that you don't really want to say so don't be scared You will be fine Just pray about it if you're a praying person Calm yourself do some yoga if you're into that and you will do great. Trust me. Just relax Allow that fear to disseminate out into the world and you will be okay. My number two thing is Definitely go with your gut What was that? I think that was my gut. Oh my god This is just like Hideki. If we listen to it, we'll get rich. Do you really think it could work? I Think someone does so when you ask these questions a lot of the times you're given a time period or a moment to think about things and Actually just answer it. So I always say process it if you are not sure about what was asked ask Ask them to just clarify it or repeat the question Then take your time and answer the question accordingly and go with your gut Usually your instinct is like the number like it's key. It's golden. So if you go with your gut, you will be fine All right, the number three thing that I definitely think you should do is don't be rude That's fine. Let's save you money so you can figure out how to leave me a decent tip Okay, because right now I have no prayer You know what grandpa that was nice to you I'd get canned. Okay. If you want good service you go somewhere else I know Hooters is probably more your speed. You came here You used that line already and it wasn't funny before. What are you drinking a little more specific genius? You're in a group session. They want to see how you interact in a group if you're rude like nobody you're a PA You're usually on a team of health care providers. Who wants to be with the rude PA? No one, okay? So don't be rude allow people to voice their opinions allow people to speak and you'll be fine So in my group interview we had a patient It was like a vignette story and that was just my interview session but you know for other group interviews it might be different and It's really all about allowing people to shine as well Like yeah, you're not trying to necessarily dim your light But you're not also you don't want to overpower anything, you know, you like you're not trying to overpower the situation So don't be rude allow people to speak.

That's not how you act That's not how you talk like just come on now. Just be real. Nobody wants somebody fake in their practice at their Organization so don't be a fake person. Just be yourself and if they like you great If that's if you're not who they want for their program That's fine because obviously you would not have done well in their program So be yourself just do you be yourself and you will be a great fit for whatever program that you're Accepted into because they want exactly who you are because if they get that they accept you into your program as the fake Person that you're being and then when you get into the program, you can't keep up that facade like something's gonna happen So don't be fake. Lastly is don't compare yourself Comparing yourself with other people is just so totally completely useless in the group interview. It is a comparison They're trying to compare how you act with other people how you interact with other people, you know your knowledge base on Hey, like so do you know this as opposed to that and and that's what they're there to do That's not what you're there to do You're just there to answer the question and be the best candidate ever So rather than comparing yourself to the other students Just do you because if you're sitting up here comparing yourself You could either shrink in the moment because you're like, oh man These these people know a whole lot more than I do or you can you know try to overpower everything and you know You're obnoxious and rude and you don't want to be rude per rule number four per tip for don't be rude So don't compare yourself and you'll do fine.
