Don’t point out food stuck in your interviewer’s teeth in the middle of an interview

So sisters I just had my first interview and after hours of practice and rehearsal and googling factoids I finally land 3,000 miles away from my home and start feeling like this doctor thing is in my grasp.

After lunch, I had a 2:1 and one of my interviewers was just stunning. Just perfect everything except for the chunk of iceberg lettuce in her perfect pearly veneers. So I point to my own mouth and do a clockwise precession towards my mouth hopefully telegraphing “floss yo teeth woman” but she just stops to say what and I say “you have food in your teeth” and the other interviewer kinda smirks and I could feel some kind of power shift dynamic happen before my eyes. Anyway the rest of the interview was cast in a suffocating pall and I wonder if that’s what saying goodbye to medicine feels like.

moral: don’t point out food in people’s teeth. Let them get home and feel ashamed as soon as they discoVer it for themselves

The only power shift dynamic that I see in your situation was the friction between your teeth and the food in between it.

I would just ask them to print out the reject letter on the spot and save them postage costs.

Jk, hope an A comes your way

Also, interviewees: buy some “travel” floss and carry it with you on interview day. There is no worse feeling than going through a post-lunch interview, thinking you killed it, then finding out later that you were really like:

All the schools I interviewed at gave lunch AFTER the interview. Thank god. Can't imagine a school giving me chipotle at lunch before the interview.
