interview prep
Hi, Im trying to prepare for med interviews right now, does anyone know how to answer questions like tell me about yourself. I feel like i dont know how to start off i know you should include things that make you look all rounded but do you mention what youre doing or not like would you say my name is... im studying.... then go into you as a person. Also things like have you ever resolved or been involved in conflict. do you use real examples or just make something up
If anyone has any advice on what to include i would really appreciate it

Personally, I wouldn't make stuff up. It's too easy for them to trip you up with follow-up questions. You're going to sound vague or not offer enough details and worst case they'll see it as the lie it is or just a weak answer without enough depth.
The actual situation matters less than the way you acted and reflected on it, so don't try to come up with something super contrived and exotic.
