    Hey!
    I have interview at UEA on 18th Jan aswell! Do you know if everyone who applys gets an interview? or only selected people?
    How are you preparing for your interview? Im so nervous!

    Hi, I dont think everyone who applys gets an interview but I could be wrong, I have just looked at different different of what OT is? what disability is? Make sure you know what they do? Know a bit about UEA that sort of thing really say it has been difficult for me as I have got exams at the moment.

    Yes I had an interview on November 30th. I rang today and they were really helpful and not at all annoyed about me calling. Yes Northampton is my firm as I live here and is so convenient for me to get there.

    Hope you get an offer! :crossedf:

    i had interview at northampton the other week, it was a group interview first where about four or five of you in a team had to choose activities that would interest older people or disabled teenagers. then there was a written essay that was about a side of a4 paper about the role of the occupational therapist. its nothing to worry about, it was really relaxed and the interviewers and other people in the interview were so friendly! good luck i was worried too but it wasnt bad at all!!
