Difficult Interview Questions

Members don't see this ad.

So I'm Google-ing some websites with sample residency interview questions and while most seem straightforward, some of them would completely freak me out during an interview. I've also talked to some residents who say that program directors will use akward silence and "staring contests" to see how the interviewee will react. Learning this has given me palpitations 2 months before I'm set to interview anywhere. Any current residents out there with any experiences like this? How did you handle it?

one advice....when this happens, ask the PD if they would like to partake in a big fat doobie and put some bob marley music to set the tone...

BUT seriously, EXCELLENT question luna!!

I'm curious too!!
