ABSTRACT
The interview will be the most important event in the Otolaryngology medical career. There are currently three recruitment processes in the United Kingdom: the ‘national’ recruitment process for England and Scotland, the Wales application and the Northern Ireland application. The interview process should be treated like an exam. The manner in which one prepared for the Diploma in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (DOHNS) or the Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) exam would give one a good idea of what is required. There are a number of key things one should strive to have on the curriculum vitae (CV) but this is by no means an official list. All the information in the portfolio needs to be easily accessible and easily digestible.
