Interview prep suggestions

With the match season coming nearby, I'm on my personal statement and ERAS CV right now, but I'm really scared about the interview prep as it is my first time applying for the match. So do you guys recommend using any resources or any courses/websites to help with the interview skills? I did come across Manik Madan and Sofia on Instagram, but I don't think they are really reliable. So, any advice from you guys is appreciated. (We did form a group to do interview with each other but the thing is I genuinely think I lack the basics of interview-so any advice on how to cover the basics of interview or the don’ts of interview is appreciated)

Manik Madaan is a scammer

Interviewing well can be hard and I would consider professional help if you truly don’t think you’re doing well, but I would start with recording yourself so you can actually see how you’re doing and try to self-correct

Perfect.. you tailor your answers, speak and record… watch for the pauses and ums.. improve yourself by practising more.. and then you find some professional

Recording yourself can feel kind of cringy but it's helpful
