ndubs12 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hey guys,Does anyone here with CDA interview experience mind sharing some tips or advice? I am unsure if CDA interviews are similar to MMIs in that you are given a set amount of time to think about your answer before speaking, or if you are expected to start talking right off the bat.Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopeful42 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I did interview last year and to your question - no it's not that in the cda interview you are formally timed in terms of when to start your reply - however just know that there is a standard number of questions they are trying to get through to allow you to display a number of "competencies" - It is to your own advantage to minimize the "dead space", take advantage of all the time you have to insert as much as possible good content into your response. At least for myself, I found using outside resources helped me in practicing the structuring and content of those responses in such a way that I could almost always start the intro to my response as I was still formulating the content and order in my head. It all benefits from a ton of practice. I saw in threads below people listing resources such as Crush, Dental Interview Plus, Elite, Topstar, and Astroff Consulting. I'm not sure if all of these are still up and running or not - you'd have to look into it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrena Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I am wondering whether any one sell "topstar mock interview questions"? I tried to buy it on line but found it impossible to open the "buy" link on their webside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookworm32 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I've been hunting down resources and am pretty sure that of the list mentioned above only Crush, Astroff, and Dental Interview Plus are the resources that are current and still operational. Good luck everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
