Are you supposed to take certificates to interviews?

I was just wondering if you were supposed to take certificates to interviews and if so which ones? I've got my GCSE certificates, certificates from a pharmacy training programme and a load of others from school

I was wondering this too cause I have an interview coming up and I have pharmacy qualifications

I think it doesn't hurt taking them with you as if they want to ask you can show them?

What uni is the interview for? :-)

Apparently you don't have to take anything but it can be a good talking point :smile: I wont be taking mine along though because my most important achievements are on my application. I've had a Birmingham interview, got a Keele and Nottingham one coming up :smile:

Absolutely terrible (I insulted drunk people in my ethical question, said a child could drink half a litre of medicine, and gave crap answers to everything else) but they sent me an offer the day after :|

They must of thought I was a complete idiot though to suggest a child could drink half a litre of medicine :eek: I just wasn't thinking straight at the time haha. And yeah everyone got a maths question, just make sure you can convert between units (like ml to l) and the rest is often just ratios, things like the dose for a medicine is 10mg per kg weight, patient is 50kg, what is the dose, although they tend to get a bit more complicated than that. Where have you applied?

Awhh bless I bet they didn't! Well I suppose it depends what medicine it is haha and the strength :tongue: ah I need to brush up on ml to L actually and just some basic maths so I don't do anything silly haha

At least you have experience of an interview already so you know roughly what to expect, but thank you so much for the information :-)

I've applied to DMU, medway, Aston, Wolverhampton and UEA, what about youu? :smile:
