how did your interview go dita?

Well done you!
Still nothing at all from mine. I applied to 3 unis in the end and 5 courses (learning disabilities and mental health). The waiting is excruciating. I highly doubt i will get in but the not knowing is horrible. I suspect if its a no from one it will be a no from all.
Dont they know my life changes with what they say?!

Good luck with your interview!

it didnt go great tbh, the group activity was great but then I got a migraine before the one to one and dont think I answered anything very throughly. I will just have to wait and see, they said within the next 2 weeks.

You'll have a great time. I am (hopefully!) graduating with a BN Adult Nursing in September 2014. It will have been 5 years including 2 at college. I am just starting to apply for jobs!!

ditavonteesed · 07/02/2014 07:02

good luck today mami, I was hoping I had remembered the day right as this thread keeps falling off my threads I'm on. I got another offer yesterday from the interview that I thought went really badly. Will be with you in spirit, go and knock there socks off. Grin

ditavonteesed · 07/02/2014 07:03

MRS what jobs you applying for, where do you fancy ending up?

mamicar · 07/02/2014 13:31

Thank you Dita. You do have the right day :) It went well I think. It was a mix of group and individual tasks. I was stupidly nervous in the individual tasks to the point you could see me shaking visably lol but I did okay I think, used all the right words etc...

Group task was fun though. I enjoyed it!

Another interview on 19th now and one more uni to hear from :)

I have another interview. They just called me and asked me to go on Saturday. THIS saturday. Of course I said yes right away. But slight problem. I am on crutches, carpet burns everywhere, broken two (purple foot) and a great BIG fat LIP FGS! (I fell down the stairs)

Please tell me the lip will go down before saturday?

ThePortlyPinUp · 10/02/2014 20:18

It does all feel scarily real now, I'm starting to imagine what it's be like :)

Mamicar I would milk it for sympathy and prove how determined you are to get there even though you are all bashed up, fingers crossed for you :)

ditavonteesed · 17/02/2014 18:23

hw did it go?

ThePortlyPinUp · 17/02/2014 18:46

I'm not sure Confused The maths questions were quite difficult compared to the practice papers that I had been using but I think I only got a couple wrong. The interview was 4x5 minute mini interviews and two went really well and the interviewers were really friendly and seemed positive, the other two were harder to read. We should know within 3 weeks so fingers crossed.

mamicar · 18/02/2014 15:08

portly where was this if you dont mind saying?

I have a similar interview coming up tomorrow with 5 x 5 mins stations
my last one Grin aand tomorrow I xan relax a bit
