Would've liked some more time but hey ho :smile:

So is that just a week's notice?! Thats really short compared to like St.Andrews, they gave me an interview with like a month's notice for next week.

Good luck! :biggrin:

Congrats to anyone with interviews, quick word of advice, make sure you know your PS like the back of your hand and are able to talk at length about every aspect of it.

are you talking about attire?

Cause I don't think there's such a thing as a casual interview...they're supposed to be serious...you're discussing your next 5 years...i dont think casual is the right word here

Most likely formal.... Do you have any idea of the sort of questions they ask ? I heard somewhere they may ask about the welsh nhs.

Actually casual is the perfect word.

They are referring to the general tone of the interview, not what they should wear, obviously you need to dress to impress. Cardiff are very relaxed and the interview is more of a friendly discussion than an interview.

No... i mean casual as in do they speak with you in a casual manner about ethical issues and your opinions on them apposed to asking you a load of really tricky chemistry questions....
Obviously its going to be serious and important! lol
