Frustrating how we want hear back for another month now probably seeing as they've given 2 weeks to complete the form :P Then all the sorting etc! Oh well :smile:

You never know! The first interview date is really early in Jan, so they will probably give out those just before Christmas. I had over a months notice last year.

I only started that soon cause it was a riding school and I got free riding lessons if I helped out :smile: I had a massive gap to 2010 then
OMG my school said the same thing I feel like going back and telling them that they where completely wrong.

I took some herbal drops things (can't remember the name) from boots and it didn't really seem to do much but it tasted nice so when I find the name you could give them a go cause they're supposed to help. To be honest the only way I've found not to get nervous is sort of convince myself that it isn't an interview and its just a casual chat instead...I did it at my chester zoo interview and it seemed to work.


Ah right! :smile: Haha! I feel like emailing the careers advisor a list of pointers. :tongue:

Was it rescue remedy? I used that and it just left a weird taste in my mouth and had no effect whatsoever. :tongue: That is a good tip, i'll have to try that. :smile:

Haha! I did get it from the back of a cupboard and didn't check the date, so maybe it tastes nicer when fresh. :tongue:

I asked for a mock interview at college several times, but they never actually organised it...I doubt they help that much though, unless they are done by people who relate to the subject.

Hi, do any of you guys know if the Bristol interviews stick to the timings? I'm trying to figure out which train to catch! Thanks

The one last year was someone from liverpool uni so that was a bit better but this one is just going to be rubbish by the sounds of it and its going to be during lunch so they have to interview like 30-40 people in an hour
For the liverpool work experience form I worked on a city farm so should I put each animal in different sections??? Its mainly cause I want them to know I did some lambing there

It was done after college last time which was better

Many congratulations :biggrin:! What grades did they offer?
Congratulations to those of you with offers/interviews!! :biggrin:

Regarding the offers being in big red writing, I plan to carry that tradition on if I get one! :tongue:
Hi everyone, congratulations for all the interviews and offers - very exciting!

I'm in my first year at Edinburgh (woo dick vets!) and this time last year was fretting over a Glasgow interview. If anyone has any questions about Glasgow or Edinburgh I'd be happy to try and help :smile:

Haha! It sure is! :tongue:

Wow! That sounds really good, what was flamingo land like? Did you just go on the rides all day? :tongue: I'd love to work with the meerkats, if I went to a zoo.


It was awesome-not going to lie. Got to shadow a vet visit and helped during an operation on a LION!!! Highlight of my life! And I got to feed giraffes and play with meerkats :biggrin: there was an awful lot of poo picking, bed making and basic grunt work, but it was so worth it.
