The interview selection tool is a survey used as part of the shortlisting process for selection for interview. Here are some helpful tips for completing the survey:
- This survey is used as part of the shortlisting process for selection for interview
- This is a survey about your work or care giving experience over the past 2 years only (if your work experience is still ongoing and commenced more than 2 years ago that can be included)
- We class ‘work experience’ as hands-on work in a public facing role. This can be either voluntary or paid. In addition to the above, significant caring responsibilities for the family can also be included as work experience: this will typically be caring for an unwell or disabled family member.
- We do not include school or college organised programs as work experience, unless you have helped to develop these yourself
- Shadowing staff in clinical environments should not be included in this survey, but is useful in preparing you for interview
- You can list up to 4 work experiences, however, please note it is not the number of work experiences we look at but the total commitment you have shown with your experience(s)
- You must supply contact details for your most significant work experience provider (employer/provider) or give contact information of a teacher who knows your family situation.
- You will also be asked to provide brief written responses to questions relating to your work or caregiving experience. These responses will help assess the key values, attributes, and qualities you have gained, which are essential for success as a medical student and for a future career in medicine.
