All right. Let's have some fun Well good morning How was your trip in this morning? All right, we'll go and get started and Dina is going to start with some questions, okay Well, I've had a lot of time to think about why I wanted to become a physician's assistant Actually in middle school we had treats and I took a lot of health all the way from middle school to high school And I had a lot of time to think about What I would want to do and I think physician's assistant is perfect for me because like you're not locked into one specialty And it would give me the opportunity to continue to grow and learn and work with other medical professionals What do you do outside of your work? My passion is photography How many tests and quizzes would you expect to take during a typical week? Maybe about four to six And how do you plan to pay for your education? Well, I had a lot of time to think about that as well me and my family we look for sponsors I have grants scholarships, so I don't have to take out any loans for the moment What would you consider your biggest weakness? My biggest weakness I would say Is being a perfectionist maybe I Like to do things and I like to do it well because it's a representation of me But sometimes I can get carried away and it can take away from my actual focus What we do if you don't get into the program is you try again next year. I'm very dedicated and I'm committed and I don't get up Great. Thank you I Was good she handled that well One thing first and foremost, okay you guys it like I know we have this Desire to like be relaxed and comfortable and that is fine But do not rock in your chair Okay, don't rock in your chair don't spin in your chair Don't do any of that just be in the pocket like be in the moment You can do like power hands if you like however, whatever keeps you in this this space This is my interview. I'm serious about this do that because being like, you know the rocking all that That's distracting and also like it's a little bit too lax. I'm just saying just heads up It's like you're not locked into So I wasn't sure if she was saying physicians assistant or physician assistant But I really liked her answer like barring that aspect of thing I did really like the answer that hey, you know what I've had a lot of time to think about this and this Career is for me. So she liked that. She knew about the career and she likes Essentially what most PAs like the flexibility of the career. So this is great This was a very to the point answer and I mean she handled that wall How many tests and quizzes would you expect to take during a typical week? Um Maybe about 46 and how do you plan to pay for your education? Well, I had a lot of time to think about that as well Okay girl, I like this, you know, so initially like she does come out She's like very serious which is cool. It can be cool But what I would suggest is smiling a little bit more, right? You know, like you want to like feel you want them to feel like you're excited to be here You're grateful for the opportunity to interview and you know, you're a pleasant and happy person So definitely smile more, but I like the fact that this Interviewee is showing that she is a planner, you know, she's thought about this She's planned by herself, but also with her family on how she will pay for PA school She's not waiting for PA school to start or for her to get accepted before she figures out All right, you know what? I need a grant. I need this I need a sponsor No, she's planned this out already, which is amazing and the fact that she wouldn't have to take out alone Even better. Okay. Nobody wants a school loan. So that would be great actually All right I see that's how you do it immediately. No hesitation. No nothing I'll try again next year because this is for me. I think she could have added that You know, like this career is for me and I know that I am meant to be a PA So I will try and try again until I get in that would have been a great answer to that like Addition to it, but what she did and how quickly she did it. That's exactly That surety that she had is exactly what you should have in these interviews She got it. That's it That is it She had it y'all she did it She did that she doesn't give up and so I mean, that's what I addressed initially I didn't watch the rest of it at first, but she did go back to it and she like Cleaned it up instead. Look, I'm dedicated. This is for me. I'm gonna do it So I think that was great She ended that super strong like literally all I remember from this interview is that she is a planner and that If she doesn't get in she's gonna try again because she's dedicated She wants this and that is really the impression that you want to give these interviewers throughout your Interview, okay, so great job kudos to her. I really like this particular interview All right. Thank you guys so much for joining me on today's masterclass. I'll see you next class
