How to fill in an application form for a specialist post
How to fill in an application form for a specialist post
Authors: Sally CarterPublication date: 27 feb 2008
It seems complicated, but Sally Carter asks if there are ways you can make the form filling easierSo you want to apply for a specialist post? You’ve had a look at the Gold Guide, [1] picked your specialty or specialties, found you meet the eligibility criteria,[2] checked out the competition,[3] and found what looks like the job for you on a deanery website.[4] You’ve seen the person specification, and you think you fit the bill. The deadline for submitting the application form seems reasonable, and you’re available for the interview dates (box 1). So far so complex, but then you knew this was never going to be as simple as firing off a few CVs.
Box 1: Looming deadlines
The first and main recruitment process for most specialties and GP training in England in 2008 opened on 5 January and runs to 16 May 2008. Many closing dates have passed already. See deanery websites for job adverts and details of application deadlines. Some specialties are recruiting nationally. Specialties can run up to three recruitment processes during the year, depending on how often certain specialties need to refill posts that become vacant. This will apply particularly (but not exclusively) to higher specialty training posts (ST3/ST4). Full details are on www.mmc.nhs.uk.Be realistic
Filling in these forms is going to need your time, probably a lot of it. Although all the forms are CV based, each deanery has its own, and the questions will be worded differently even if they are after similar information. If you’ve saved answers from previous forms, you may not be able to just cut and paste them into another. Make sure you read the job description, person specification, application form, and any guidance on the deanery website. Then decide if you can get the form done in time. Junior doctor Mark Lewis found the most difficult thing about completing application forms was finding the time to complete them all. He said, “I had to write down a spreadsheet of all the specialties by region and put the dates down, as there was no single reference page for them all, but there was a very handy Facebook group created by some other trainees.”Read instructions—again and again
Once you’ve decided to apply for a post you need to read and re-read the instructions. Professor Geraint Rees, deputy co-chair of the BMA Medical Academic Staff Committee, says, “It is critical to be obsessive about following instructions.” He thinks that two of the quickest ways not to be shortlisted are to ignore a question about eligibility or to miss instructions, such as those telling you to fill in a supplementary form.Read the question—and answer it in plain English
Professor Elisabeth Paice, dean director at the London Deanery, believes that reading the questions on the form is vital, and it is “amazing how many people don’t and lose marks for not paying attention.” This sentiment is backed up by Dr Chris Clough, medical director of the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board. He thinks that one of the most important things to do when filling in an application is to make sure you answer the question. He also suggests reading your answers to friends and asking them to feed back to you what they think you’re trying to say. This will help you check that you are getting across what the question asked for and can be useful in clarifying your writing, especially if English is not your first language.Matt Jameson-Evans, trainee orthopaedic surgeon and co-founder of Remedy UK, has similar advice. “The cardinal sin in applications is not to show it to enough people. By the time you send your application you should have shown it to at least two of (a) your contemporaries, (b) registrars—that is, previously successful applicants, and (c) consultants. If you know anyone who is good with words (in or out of medicine) get it to them and explain how your life depends on it reading like a work of Shakespeare.”
A blank box is a missed opportunity
Professor Rees thinks that, “It is amazing how many people, when faced with a box asking them a question along the lines of ‘What qualities and achievements do you have that make you particularly suitable for a post?’ will write a single sentence and leave most of the box blank. This is a missed opportunity for self promotion, which is, in essence, what an application form is.” Professor Paice agrees, “A blank box will yield no marks and may disqualify you if the attribute concerned is an essential criterion.”Keep the points in mind—it’s all relative
Application forms are scored using a system that reflects the essential and desirable qualities in the job description. Professor Rees says that even if you don’t know the scoring system, the job description tells you which characteristics are being assessed. What qualities or experience do you have that will distinguish you from others filling in the same form? This is where you can score extra points. For example, if two points are available for an audit question a large number of applicants will score one because most people will provide some evidence. To score maximum points, think about what types of audit activity would score highest. Getting on a shortlist is not about your absolute score, but your score relative to other people, and some questions will be more discriminating than others.The nitty gritty
Be factual and concise, but personalise the application (box 2). This is particularly important when answering questions about your motivation for applying for a post. Professor Rees says, “If when you read back the answer to such a question it is so general that it could have come from anyone rather than from you, then it probably needs more work.”Box 2: Golden rules
- Allow enough time
- Read the documentation
- Prepare
- Write
- Check everything is filled in, written to the correct word count, and run the spell check
- Save (at regular intervals)
- Check your answers
- Once sent, check the form has been received
Don’t lie
When filling in an application form Dr Clough says that, “The biggest mistake you can make is not telling the truth.” If you make up a clinical scenario you will be asked about it in an interview, and it will be obvious if you didn’t see the patient. That could be embarrassing.Professor Paice agrees. “The worst mistake you can make is to lie about your achievements, your qualifications, or your immigration status, where relevant to your application. You could lose your career that way.”
Help is at hand
Talk to people whom you want to check your form before you send it off. Check they can turn it around fast enough for you. You’ll also need to ensure that your referees will be available. People will be there to help even if they are available only on the phone or by email.[5]References

Preparing the perfect medical CV
Matt Green from BPP University College School of Health explores what steps you should take to ensure that your medical CV stands out for the right reasons. He will be speaking at this year’s BMJ Careers Fair
Even in this age of electronic application forms and e-portfolios there is still a need for doctors to maintain an up to date curriculum vitae (CV). Your CV is a career road map that enables you to identify and deal with any gaps in your experience and to respond to opportunities that may arise unexpectedly.
Whether you are applying for a new position, your consultant has requested to review your experience and achievements to date, or a colleague would like to consider you for a committee position, your CV is the key that will unlock your future.
The aim of your CV should be “to present a personal history of one’s education, professional history and job qualifications with a strong emphasis on specific skills relating to the position applied for.”
The person who is shortlisting candidates for interview will have on average only two minutes to review your CV in the first instance to determine whether your application should be considered further. Therefore when preparing your CV you should strive to be:
- Relevant
- Clear
- Concise.
Top tips for ensuring that your medical CV stands out for the right reasons
As long as it needs to be—Your CV should give the reader enough information for them to explore relevant points during the interview. As a rule of thumb, a length of three to eight pages is sensible. Quality is much more important than quantity.Do not waste valuable space—Don’t include a cover sheet or index in your CV, as this is a waste of valuable space and will take the reader’s attention away from the important experience and skills contained within your CV.
Easy on the eye—Avoid using differing fonts and formatting in each section (such as bold, underlining, and italics) as this will draw attention away from what matters the most in your CV—the content. Use the same font throughout (I recommend using Times New Roman or Arial) and keep formatting to a minimum.
Consistency, consistency, consistency—Ensure that the layout, spacing, and structure of your CV are consistent throughout and do not differ from section to section.
Avoid solid blocks of text—It is better to present your skills and experience in a given section as bullet points rather than paragraph after paragraph of solid text as this can be off-putting and daunting to the reader. The aim of a good CV is to make your experience and achievements leap off the page.
Do not fabricate or embellish any information—Your CV is a statement of fact, and if it is found to include information that is untrue you will at the very least lose out on your application chances and at worst land in serious trouble with the General Medical Council.
Structuring your medical CV
Separating your experience and achievements into a logical order of headings makes the life of those cross referencing your information to the person specification a great deal easier. Follow a layout of education and professional qualifications, clinical experience, non-clinical skills, extracurricular activities, and finally referees.I would recommend that you structure your CV using the following headings.
Personal details—Include your full name and abbreviated qualifications, correspondence address, contact telephone numbers, professional email address, date of birth, nationality, and General Medical Council registration number.
Career statement—A clever way to help your CV stand out immediately is to include a personal profile paragraph on the first page that outlines your experience and skills to date and how they make you suitable for the position in question, along with your short and long term goals.
Education and qualifications—List first qualifications obtained from an educational institution—for example, postgraduate qualifications, medical degrees, and previous degrees. Also include here other postgraduate qualifications such as your membership exams, the Professional Linguistic Assessment Board test, or an advanced life support qualification.
Career history—Give your current position first and then list your previous posts. For each post include the full name of the institution, the dates that you worked, the grade and specialty, and the name of your supervisor.
Clinical skills and experience—There are two differing opinions on how best to present clinical experience. You can either group clinical experience together in a separate section or give your clinical experience after each post listed in your career history section. I think it is more concise and less repetitive if you present your clinical skills and experience in a standalone section. Remember to address any particular person specification requirements in this section.
Management and leadership experience—No matter what level you are at, doctors must show management experience, especially in the light of the Medical Leadership Competency Framework. Experience could include committee responsibilities, organising events, rota management, and supervision of juniors.
Development courses and conferences attended—It is important to show your commitment to personal development. List the courses and conferences you have attended, including the title of the course, the course provider and location, the date attended, and the duration.
Research experience—The importance you place on this relating to your career progression will depend on your chosen specialty. Present your experience as the topic of research, time spent, location, supervisor and source of funding, aims and your role, and final outcome.
Clinical audit—It is important to show your participation in clinical audit. Present your experience as month or year completed, the topic of audit, location or institution, your role, and the guidelines audited against.
Presentations and publications—These may arise from research, clinical audit, and teaching experience. List the date presented or published, title or topic, date, and location or journal.
Teaching experience—This is important and adds strength to any application as the whole medical profession relies on participating in teaching. Detail the audiences you have taught—for example, undergraduate or postgraduate, teaching methods employed, and, if applicable, say that this is an area in which you wish to continue to develop your skills and experience.
Information technology skills—More and more institutions require proficient information technology skills, so give details of any particular competencies you have. These could include statistical packages or research tools.
Personal interests—It is important to show a balanced approach to life. Your extracurricular interests relate to your ethos in life and should paint a picture of a well balanced individual.
Referees—List at least two (preferably three) referees from your current and previous posts. Include the full name, position or grade, full address, telephone number, fax number, and email address.
Final thoughts
A well structured, clear, and concise CV will be instrumental in securing you a place at interview. Once you have prepared your CV, proofread, proofread, proofread! Ask your peers to review and provide feedback and amend it where you feel necessary. Ensure that your CV aligns to the person specification and that all the hard work you have invested during your career is presented in the best possible light. Your CV is something that you should be proud of and be ready to present at short notice to secure the opportunities you need to progress your career.ENTREVISTAS DE TRABAJO: PEQUEÑOS TRUCOS
Interviewing with impact
Authors: Kathleen SullivanPublication date: 15 sep 2010
Kathleen Sullivan gives her tips on being the perfect intervieweeCreating a confident, competent impression from the minute you walk through the door right down to the moment you leave the room can be tricky. However, it is within your ability to master the art and skill of successful interviews with a bit of focused preparation. The secret to being the best match for the job—giving you a distinct advantage over other candidates—lies in your finesse at depicting a confident attitude, which translates into a calm, professional demeanour.
This article will look at how to maximise your impact and get the best outcome in any interview situation. Included here are some practical techniques that you can master, enabling you to communicate in a way that lets your true personality shine through. By sharpening your personal skills and adopting a more professional approach, you will have the advantage needed for a successful interview so that you get the job you want right now.
Confident and positive first impressions
Let’s face it, interviews are not something that we do every day. We may only have five interviews in a lifetime, and, like public speaking, our lack of practice can make these occasions feel uncomfortable and unnatural. We’ve all experienced strange contortions of our facial muscles or awkward, overexaggerated hand and arm movements, which under more relaxed situations would not occur (for example, nervously tapping a foot, biting a lip, or even hunching our shoulders in an attempt to shrink in size—in the hope of disappearing like a turtle into its shell). There’s no harm, therefore, in having a few ideas on how to make the most of a challenging situation. Below are some steps that you can take so that you come across as your absolute best.The handshake
When you shake hands, the last thing it should be is memorable—if it is, then there’s something wrong. The most memorable aspects of your handshake should simply be good eye contact, a tall posture, and a genuine smile. Practise a grip that doesn’t linger excessively, isn’t too limp, and isn’t overbearing (no knuckle breakers).What to wear
It seems too obvious to even mention, but check that you’re well groomed and your clothing is clean, tidy, and appropriate for the occasion. And if you stand out from the crowd, ask yourself if it could be for all the wrong reasons (a garish tie, cheap jewellery, nightclub outfit). In a survey of NHS consultants (Sullivan K, personal communication, Seven things I wish I’d known before becoming a consultant, 2009), most respondents recommended that good candidates “dress professionally—neat, tidy, and conventional.” A dark blue suit with a white shirt and black shoes is always the safest option.Eye contact
Engage your listeners by establishing good eye contact with everyone on the interview panel. Rather than staring, eyes fixated on just one person, remember to acknowledge everyone, moving your eyes around the table and spending at least six seconds with each person.Posture
An open, relaxed posture not only affects how confident you feel, but also how confident others perceive you to be. If your body is acting confidently, your mind will become more confident too. Try it now: sit up straight, shoulders dropped, allowing your chest to open by bringing your shoulder blades together slightly. Look ahead and up a bit—and smile. Feeling more poised and confident already?Facial expressions
Smiling, not only at the start of the interview, but at appropriate times during the interview and on leaving the room, is a surefire way to build rapport with your interviewers. Make a habit of relaxing your facial muscles and breaking into a gentle, pleasant smile that’s appropriate for the situation. Who knows, by focusing on smiling, you might actually find that you are enjoying the interview. Your smile is one of the most powerful tools you possess. Use it to establish a positive connection. But beware of the subtle difference between a fake smile and an authentic one. The latter, known as the “Duchenne smile,” requires the muscles located at the corners of the mouth and encircling the eyes.Body language
Consider what your body language is indicating about you—spend some time sitting in front of a mirror when practising your answers, ensuring that your body is conveying the same message as your words. When what you are saying in words isn’t congruent with what your face and body are saying, the listener will believe the non-verbal communication—pictures always speak louder than words. And our bodies never lie.Building a strong rapport
Members of the interview panel are looking to appoint a candidate whom they believe is the best fit for the job. People generally like people who are like them. Their perception of you will be based not only on what you say, but also what your face, posture, tone of voice, and gestures are saying—the non-verbal cues that influence how we are perceived. Some research suggests that up to 93% of the impression we make is based on non-verbal factors. The unconscious signals that you transmit can considerably affect the extent to which the interviewer believes that you are a great match for the job.Find common ground
As you’re getting to know someone, an important component of building rapport is having something in common with that person. Look out for similar research interests, colleagues, or places you’ve worked. Your aim is to put them at ease and make it easy for them to enjoy meeting you.Match and mirror
If you watch two good friends talking, you will probably notice how they copy each other’s gestures, facial expressions, and body language. This matching and mirroring is all happening at a subconscious level. As they match and mirror each other, they each perceive the other to be like them and this creates a deep, unconscious rapport. As a result, the degree of trust, comfort, and respect between them builds. The conscious mind follows what the subconscious mind does. If the other person’s subconscious mind trusts you, then his or her conscious mind will trust you too.If you want to create a strong connection with another person, try matching and mirroring their actions and see what happens to the way you communicate and how comfortable you feel. Matching is doing what the other person is doing, but simply in reverse; if a person crosses their left leg, you cross your left leg. Mirroring is being the mirror image of the other person—when they tilt their head to the left, you tilt yours to the right.
Active listening
All too often we’re so busy thinking about what we want to say next that we fail to concentrate on what the other person is saying. If you want to communicate effectively you must listen actively and be present at all times. Send the other person some reassuring signals that you really do value what they’re saying. Nod, use “ums” and “ahs” at the appropriate points, and let your facial expressions reveal your thoughts rather than interrupting the person in mid-sentence.Copy talking
Studies have shown that a mere 7% of what is communicated is transmitted through the words themselves. A whopping 38% comes through the individual characteristics of the voice—the tone, tempo, volume, and timbre. You can match the tonality and phrasing, the pitch, the speed, volume, and tempo of the other person. Also, consider the words that your interviewers use—are they formal or casual? Do they use short sentences or long ones? Do they talk in jargon and acronyms? Pick up on their approach and integrate it into your own delivery.Be careful to avoid mimicry when matching voice and words (don’t do an impression of their pronunciation and dialect) and make sure you always use it in helping you to build rapport with a sincere intention. Combine this with matching the interviewer’s body language and the level of rapport will grow faster. In no time you will be locked into strong rapport because although the words are working on the person’s conscious mind, the physiology is working on the unconscious mind and the brain receives the message loud and clear—“you’re like me.”
Competency based questions
Competency based (also sometimes called “behavioural” or “situational”) interviewing techniques help interviewers to separate out the good candidates from those who are simply trying to bluff their way into the job without the right skills or experience.The theory behind competency based interviewing is that past work behaviour is a good predictor of future job performance. When interviewers ask you competency based questions, they want you to talk about how you have actually tackled real problems in the past. From this, they are trying to infer how effectively you would tackle future problems if they were to offer you a job.
Questions are likely to start, for example, with: “Please give me an example of when . . .” or “Please describe an occasion . . .”
In responding to a competency based question, the most important principle is to give a real example that actually happened to you. Don’t talk in broad terms about how you generally tackle those sorts of situations. Talk about a specific example.
The STAR question structure
STAR stands for:- Situation
- Task
- Action
- Result
The ideal time to use the STAR structure is when answering competency based questions, because this approach will showcase all aspects of your example, making it easy for the interviewer to identify the skills you have used (for example, leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, motivation, in depth knowledge, and technical skills related to the job specification) and the results that your activity produced.
Step 1—Situation and task
Describe the situation that you were confronted with or the task that needed to be accomplished. With the STAR approach you need to set the context. Make it concise and informative, concentrating solely on what is useful to the story.For example, if the question is asking you to describe a situation where you had to deal with a difficult person, explain how you came to meet that person and why they were being difficult. If the question is asking for an example of teamwork, explain the task that you had to undertake as a team.
Step 2—Action
This is the most important section of the STAR approach because it is where you will need to demonstrate and highlight the skills and personal attributes that the question is testing. Now that you have set the context of your story, you need to explain what you did. In doing so, remember these points:- Be personal—talk about you, not the rest of the team
- Go into some detail
- Do not assume that the interviewers will guess what you mean
- Steer clear of technical information, unless it is crucial to your story
- Explain what you did, how you did it, and why you did it.
Be aware also of describing why you took the action you did, because this will provide extra clarification to the interviewer that you were fully aware of the consequences of your actions.
Step 3—Result
Explain what happened eventually; that is, what you achieved through your actions. Also, use this moment to describe how the situation ended and what you learnt in that situation. This helps you make the answer personal and enables you to highlight further skills.Describing the result is a crucial part of your answer. Interviewers want to know that you are using a variety of generic skills in order to achieve your objectives. Therefore, you must be able to demonstrate in your answer that you are taking specific actions because you are trying to achieve a specific objective and not that the objective happened simply by chance.
It also enables you to finish each answer on a high note through highlighting the benefit that you brought to specific situations through your actions. Don’t forget to incorporate power words here to emphasise the positive results.
Although the STAR approach is particularly relevant to competency based interviews, it provides a very clear and concise way to structure any response. When preparing your answers, following the structure will also help you to clarify what is important in a certain scenario and include it, leaving out any superfluous information.
