very beautiful .. concised .. to the point book
easy language .. many remarks
gives a lot of ideas on how to give the most perfect, honest, direct, and pretty things about self
it doesn't consume a lot of time .. and also gives a lot of informations

I particularly liked the part where what goes behind the scene is described .. many think they can't really do much about them , but in fact if the applicant steps in with an understanding of this fact .. he may by a way or another be able to sort things out and turn on the table to his personal advantage ..!!

I also liked the part where description of interviewers is given .. it was informative and at some points .. Funny ..!!

thanks for this great book :)

توجهت لموجهي المهني في مكتبه بعد قبولي لمقابلات التخصص الدقيق و طلبته أن يجري لي محاكاة للمقابلات الشخصية و أن يقيم سيرتي الذاتية و كعادته عندما أطلب منه طلبا مباشرا دائما ما يحاول أن لا يمنحني إجابة مباشرة قد تجعلني أتخذ قرارا مباشرا من خلالها و كأنه اتخذ القرار بدلا عني !
كان دائما ما يوجهني للمصادر التي اعتمد عليها في اتخاذ قراراته و أهداني نسخته الخاصة من هذا الكتاب ولعلها كانت أثمن هدية قدمها لي أحدهم خلال مسيرتي الطبية.

A thorough guide into residency's interviews. The only down-side is that it's a short book
The sample questions / answers are really helpful and relevant, some of the context is directed more into the US residencies but still though sounded relevant.
Overall, it's a helpful book if interested to get some strategies and to improve interviews' encounter, not a very rich full guide though

Great book

Great book with lots of insight into the way residency selection process works. A lot of it was totally new to me. Hopefully will get me thru this year's match.
