For whoever needs this as a reminder...hope you get a chance to recharge over the next few days 🥰

The examples you share in an interview show who you are and the colleague you'll be.

Opt for stories that represent your:

- Teamwork
- Vulnerability
- Capacity for reflection

It's about showing, not telling, your value.

When sharing examples in your interview, emphasise 'I did this.'

Taking ownership shows leadership and initiative.

It's about acknowledging your role in the success of the story, making your contribution clear.

Adjusting the NICE guidelines for sepsis in paediatrics.

And how many additional children’s hospitals we would need to admit them all too.
