For reference, I’m applying peds and have 20+ interview invites. From what I’ve heard, interviews (esp peds) are mostly vibe checks. I plan on being professional, but I think it’s important to let my personality shine through.

I feel like all the videos I see about how to answer these interview questions seem so ingenuine and make all applicants sound the same (basically using any opportunity to really hype yourself up).

So ig my question is: do I truly need these long-winded, basically scripted answers, or can I just be myself even if my answers aren’t perfect?? Like is this truly just a vibe check and I’m safe-ish as long as I stay professional??
