Interview

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Truly helpful

It was extremely helpful right from the start of the application. They patiently listen to us and make good ERAS recommendations. Even the interview with Dr. Fadi Toro was very beneficial; he gave me a detailed review and told me to focus on my strengths, which boosted my confidence.

I’m a U.S.-IMG who matched into an anesthesiology residency. The match guys have an excellent team that will work with you on everything from essays to ERAS CV editing. The one-on-one interview preparation with them was also extremely beneficial in setting me up to have a good interview season. Dr. Assad and his team were very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend their service.

I had a negative experience with the…

I had a negative experience with the Match Guy's mock interview services. The interviewers were unprepared, only asking questions based on their personal experiences. And the feedback I received was not useful or constructive. And could not provide any useful insights.
Despite this, the company was helpful, friendly and tried to accommodate my experience. However, their prices are much more expensive compared to other companies. I would not recommend their mock interview services.

Reply & Update Post-Match result:
Thankfully, I was successful in the Match.
The coordinators and Malik Assad were very helpful and accommodating, offering two extra sessions with another interviewer (I only took one). Despite this, I was not completely satisfied by the experience.

I tried another mock interview service and was much happier with the quality and price.

I am still thankful to The Match Guy, though I was let down when they ASKED ME TO REMOVE my review in exchange for a 50% refund.
This indicates that the reviews here MAY NOT be as honest as they appear.

Dear Baraa,
We apologize for the unpleasant experience you had with our interview preparation sessions. Each instructor leads the interview preparation session based on their extensive experience interviewing applicants at their programs, personal experience with the Match, in addition to set of questions commonly asked on the interviews. There is unfortunately no right or wrong way to answer an interview question and, as such, no standardized approach to follow. Instead, we actively work with applicants in an individualized way not only as advisors but also as “coaches” helping them personalize their answers and present themselves during their interviews in a memorable way. While the feedback you received was not perceived to be constructive, our instructors worked with you and provided you with specific feedback on ways to better answer each individual question. Please note that our instructors are all very successful residents and physicians who practice and train in top notch programs across the United States. That being said, we trust their approach to answering interview question as this has clearly proven to be effective given that they matched in great programs. Additionally, when we learned that you did not have the best experience with the first interview instructor, we accommodated your request and connected you with another instructor no questions asked. Unfortunately, it looks like you did not have a good experience with the second instructor as well. Both instructors matched at top notch programs, interviewed 40+ applicants with 5-star reviews for all their sessions. Unfortunately, sometimes applicants have unrealistic expectations of what they are trying to get from these sessions looking either for robotic answers or magical way to improve their performance dramatically in one hour.

Regarding the refund, all our interview prep is backed up with 100% refund if the student is not satisfied. However, that applies only to the first session (e.g. if someone bought 3 sessions like you did, they have to tell us that they are not happy after the first session so they can get a full refund, not complete all sessions and then discover that the sessions were not satisfying). You completed 4 sessions with 2 different tutors. That is why we offered you the 50% refund, not to remove your review.

We apologize that you also did not have the best experience with either instructor. We will take your review into account and we will actively work on providing a better experience moving forward

Outstanding Service

The service The Match Guy provided is excellent. They helped me with my application to be in good shape, and it was very effective to get more interviews. The interview guidance session was great, and Dr. Saade gave genuine feedback.

Dr. James Fischer

Dr. Fischer was a great professional and good mentor. He asked me so many interview questions. He almost covered everything that can be asked in any interview for a residency. After that, he gave me feedbacks about my answers and my reactions. All of this was really helpful and the session was very productive.

Awesome Package

I purchased the Silver Match Package a few weeks ago and was very happy with the help I received from the Match Guy. The tutors were very professional and helpful and clarified all my questions about my edits for the CV and PS. They helped to prepare me for my residency interviews so that I can stand out on interview day. I now have a better understanding of what interviewers are looking for and how to go about reiterating some of the information mentioned on my CV and PS during my interviews. I was also able to get a better idea of what is expected of me as a resident and how to make the most out of the endless opportunities during residency.

Letter of Interest

I am delighted with the service provided. I asked for a letter of interest editing. After a thorough review and great recommendations for this letter to be most suitable, I could get an interview for the program I wanted, thanks to The Match Guy and his team.
Highly recommendable service.

I am delighted with the services received. I think my personal statement is much stronger after editing, and I was especially impressed with how they restructured some sentences.
Also, the mock interview with Dr. Roupen Odabashian was very helpful. It helped me find the best part of my story and present myself in the best way. Now I feel more confident about the interview.

Malke is awesome!

Malke is an exceptional mentor and overall person. The work that he put into revising my personal statement was meaningful and deliberate with each new draft. From brainstorming to the final version, his services really helped me pull out my story and highlight my strengths. I will be purchasing his interview package during this upcoming cycle. Highly recommend!

The best for interview prep!

I’m very glad I took The Match Guy’s interview prep package! Dr. Asaad and Dr. Saade helped me understand what the program faculty are looking for while interviewing candidates and helped me shape my answers accordingly. They also helped me highlight the most impressionable points in my CV. I really appreciate their efforts in making me present my best self in the interviews. They were always very supportive, and were very prompt in scheduling my practice sessions, sometimes even at the last minute when my interviews were preponed. I give their service a huge credit in helping me match at my top choice :)

I purchased the mentorship program to navigate applying for residency and I would 100% recommend it to anyone else. Malke helped me create a great CV, personal statement, and gain interview skills. I matched at my #1 IM program and I have no doubt it was because of his mentorship. Thank you again!!

Malke is the man!!

I've been a friend and mentee of Malke "The Match Guy" Asaad's for almost 3 years now through research. He's gotten me over 7 publications in the past 2 years alone. He has also helped me immensely through interview practice and his application advice. He's one of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to research and getting into the program of your dreams! His advice is honest and straightforward, which is very necessary in order to improve based on your weaknesses. While I never paid for any of his services, the insight he has to offer is priceless. He genuinely cares about your success and has found a great way to apply his unique skillset to help people get through the grueling process that is The Match. Thank you for everything, Malke.

Excellent service!

Dr. Malke Asaad provided me with efficient and excellent service! He connected me with an experienced PGY2 resident and scheduled a mock interview in only 2-3 days. The mock interview went very well, and I received many helpful guidance/suggestions. Super useful, especially for IMGs.

This is a service you can trust 100%. Highly recommend!

Great resource for interview prep

Really great experience. I took the 3 hour package. For me personally, this was definitely worth it because even though I don't necessarily struggle with the communication aspect of interviews, I lacked a vision and understanding of the approach to interviews. Dr. Shreyas is amazing in assisting with that. I gained confidence with my responses (sometimes I get very nervous), understood what I needed to convey in interviews and what about me and my CV was worth highlighting. Dr. Malke's team is very accommodating and you can space out your sessions however you would like and focus on the issues most concerning to you.

Interview Preparation

If you are looking for someone that completely understands how to interview for the Residency Match. This is the guy!

During my Interview preparation, Dr. Malke was professional, straightforward, and extremely helpful. After his initial feedback, I worked on my IV skills based on what he considered I needed to improve. During my second session, I definitely noticed a more Residency focus Interview.

I highly recommend Dr. Malke and his team. He is the best!

Interview Prep

I took Interview Prep Service from the Match Guy team. It was one of the amazing interview sessions I had. Learned a lot about structure, room set up and answering difficult behavioral questions in those sessions. In addition, I had two sessions with one of their Teammates, Shreyas, one of the finest residents I have talked to. His ideas helped me shape my answers effectively and relate things more efficiently.
