Ep 28: What to Say About Non‑Linear Training When You’re Asked “Tell Me About Yourself”

In this episode, Tessa and Becky tackle a common fear for many final‑year trainees and locum consultants: how to handle a non‑linear training path at consultant interview, especially if you have trained overseas or stepped off programme. ​ They cover: Non‑linear training – why it is a strength, not a red flag, and how to shift from apologising to owning the value you bring. ​ Describing overseas experience – how to use numbers, volume, and clear outcomes so the panel really understands your clinical exposure rather than guessing. ​ Avoiding dull chronology – how to move away from “first I did this job, then that job” towards “these are the skills I’ve developed and what I can do for you now”. ​ Mistake questions – a real example about emailing a trainee about a complaint, and how to use it to show reflection, empathy, and learning without choosing a disastrous case. ​​ Plus how one pair of Academy students used daily 6–6.45 am practice sessions to secure a dream post. If you have a non‑standard path, trained overseas, or simply worry that your route into consultancy looks “different”, this episode will show you how to talk about it clearly and confidently in your NHS consultant interview.
