Join Tessa and Becky on Ace Your Consultant Interview Podcast Ep 32 as they unpack game-changing advice for final-year trainees and aspiring consultants prepping for high-stakes interviews. Dive into transforming a bland list of publications into a standout research USP by spotlighting your top project—think patient recruitment numbers, clinical impacts, and hard-earned skills like ethics approvals and stats analysis (skip the PhD title flex; sell what you did). They rip apart a messy "conflict with a junior colleague" example, revealing why over-detailing clinical drama and "I was right" endings kill your conflict resolution story—focus on de-escalation, team support, and that magic cup of tea instead.

Tackle the curveball question "Which trust value do you embody the least?" with savvy: pick a challenging one like "collaborative," share a USP-tied hurdle you overcame, and stay far from red flags like "caring." Master 5-minute presentations by ditching slide overload (max 3, or go slide-free) and structuring like an extended interview answer: intro, 3 key points, summary.
