QUESTION 7 OF 30

Tell us something unique about yourself that is not found on your CV.

If you are called upon to interview for a coveted spot in a nuclear medicine residency program, you can be assured that your interviewers are confident in your clinical skills and education. Often, their choice of who to bring into their program comes down to who is the best fit for their culture and way of doing things. This question gives candidates they are considering the chance to talk about something unique about themselves that makes them a good fit for the program and the team.

"Something I am proud of that is not on my resume is my black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I am proud of this accomplishment because it took me ten years of hard work and dedication to receive my belt. I enjoy keeping in shape and knowing how to defend myself non-violently. In my free time over the last two years, I've taken on instructing jiu-jitsu students at a local academy."

While you cannot share everything about your personal life and accomplishments on your CV, there must be something you are proud of that you would like to share. If possible, share something about yourself that shows the interviewers you would be a good fit for their program. For example, if you share that you compete in triathlons, the interviewers will see that you are dedicated and diligent, both essential qualities for nuclear medicine residents to possess.
