Hi everyone, I have an interview question: When you walked into the interview room did you shake hands will all of the panelmembers or just sat down?

I shook hands with each of them. They actually stood up so I'm guessing even if I hadn't planned to I would've anyway because they were expecting me to

dont give up hope yet!! I dont know in what way you think you messed up your interview, but I thought that my interview went horribly. I came out of it super upset and I didn't even pay attention during the tour because I was so sure that I would never get the offer. To add on to this they didn't reply to me for four weeks!! I eventually got the offer though so don't lose all hope yet! :smile: There's still a chance!

Hi guys,
I just wanted to ask whether it is appropriate to shake hands with everyone on the interview panel at the end of an interview as well?

If I were you I wouldn't - seems a bit overkill! If they give out their hand then do so but otherwise once is definitely enough!

In fact I would say to definitely shake it!

It wouldn't have been because of meeting the cutoff, everyone who didn't was rejected ages ago, and people with borderline cutoff scores did get interviewed.
Offer!!!!! I can't believe it!!! A*AA (A* in Bio/Chem) and interviewed 14th March :smile:

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but when I was at another interview, at the end I didn't shake their hands as I thought it would be a bit OTT but they gave me a weird look so I don't know if I should for this interview.

I just don't want to mess up on these small yet signicant things!

What did everyone do who have had interviews?

Also do we need to bring any documents/ ID with you as it doesn't state anything on the email?

Thank you! :smile:

I felt it was quite relaxed and seemed more like they were trying to see what kind of person I was as opposed to drilling me about medical topics and also it went by soooo quickly
