Virtual Interviews for PA School

from The Pre-PA Club

Your interview is happening on a laptop. Prepare like it isn't. Virtual interviews are the norm this cycle, and I keep hearing people treat them as lower stakes because they're at home. They're not. Same decision, same committee, same seat on the line. Test your technology before the day. Not an hour before, days before. Know where your camera is, know what your background looks like, know what happens if your internet drops and have a plan for it. Get rid of every possible interruption, including the people and animals in your house. Dress like you drove there. Full outfit, not just the top half. It changes how you carry yourself, and you will absolutely have to stand up at some point. What I cover: Treating a virtual interview with in-person seriousness Testing your tech and having a backup plan Setting up your space and background What to wear and why it matters Eye contact and energy through a camera The real pros and cons of the virtual format Resources: PA School Interview Guide: https://www.thepaplatform.com/physician-assistant-school-interview-guide PA School Interview Course: https://www.thepaplatform.com/services/pa-school-interview-course Mock Interview: https://www.thepaplatform.com/services/mock-interview Free Application Timeline: https://www.thepaplatform.com/services/free-application-timeline Mentioned in this episode: CapYear Training Get $200 Off CapYear Academy Looking to boost your clinical experience this summer?
