Somewhere in the middle of the interview my elderly physician interviewer asks me a version of 'Where do you think healthcare is going in few years from now?'.
Me: start telling him my opinion in depth and go on to tell him that I support a particular healthcare plan...
I: He interupts me and says very pationatelly: I am absolutely against this plan...
Me (why did I just say this
) Um, why?
I: Thoroughly explains his view (bashing Canada and USA health care along the way) in the next 15 min.
Me: I see where you are coming from, but I still believe this plan can potentially be successful...
I: Looks down at his paper, shakes head, and scribbles something.
Me: Terrified
, but keeping my cool on the outside...
The most bizarre part was that for the rest of the interview (the whole interview lasted over an hour) every time I answered a question, he would stare me in the eyes for a few seconds (during an awkward silence), then write down some notes while shaking his head. This happened at least ten times!!! I couldn't tell whether he is shaking his head because he likes my answers or he hates them. Nonetheless, I kept smiling the entire interview and just being myself (although I was terrified on the inside).
Result: Accepted!!
