It's my second interview. Had my first during my A levels but only got onto the reserve list. Studied my insurance choice of Social Policy and Sociology for 3 years, applied for Social Work last year but didn't even get as far as the interview. It's a competitive field. If you get in congratulations, but if not, perseverance is key lol

Well done for getting on the reserve list after a levels!! How come you didn't get an interview last year if you dont mind me asking? I almost didn't apply at all this year as I recently had a baby so was gonna leave it til next year so if I get a spot it will be a bonus!!!x

I have no idea, the feedback isn't the best. However I assume my 600 word essay wasn't good enough for one reason or another. All we can do now is wait :/

I think everyone got asked the same 3 from each interviewer? But not too sure! Fingers crossed for us guys, its so nerve wracking!! But we got to our interview stage and that's hard to do so we gotta be proud of ourselves for that :biggrin:

There is two interviewers and they ask three questions each. They also ask a warm up question but your not maked on that, I got asked one scearnio question. I agree with mmq we should be proud of ourselves x

Yes that has been my experience too the questions are different for each person so no point asking anyone what they are lol

I would say there's maybe 2/3 different sets and they choose a sheet at random for each candidate 👍

I'm glad they have mixed them up, would be unfair if they were posted online and others had an unfair advantage.

Yeah waveydavey I agree, that's probably why they have mixed them up x

Yes I absolutely agree 👍 the notes we get with the letter pretty much tell us what the questions are anyways!!! I do feel I prepared pretty well so hopefully that was evident!!! 😀
