For anyone who has gotten the interview, On the yellow sheet it specifies two particular books, are any of you guys buying the books they have mentioned? I originally wasn't going to as I have a social work book already but I'm slightly worried that if they have specifically referred to them, that maybe I should get myself the book?

WHat do you guys think?

Hi I have both those books. I wouldn't bother with the Cree one but the other trevick one is good if you can borrow ftom lib but to be honest it's probably stuff you already know I'm not even sure if I will draw on it for interview x

Hey I wasn't gonna bother with the other one as its pretty outdated..don't think queens have it but i have a 2012 social work bookand j have just been reading.

I thihnk they just want to know we have a good idea of what social work entails, but just wasn't sure if we needed those books specifically!

Cheers:smile:

No I'm not buying them...I don't think they can expect people to buy 2 text books just for interview!!

You're right and they aren't cheap like lol..think they just wanted to suggest books they knew..sure if we skim it over any book on social work i think will do....I'll skim trevithick book and read my other one and throw in their names if I get the chance haha:P

Hi cfearon I heard after 5 days..
Does anyone know if we need to bring exam certificates on day of interview?
I was asked to bring my certs over to queens a few weeks ago and they photocopied them....

I'm wondering the same thing as I haven't been asked for certs yet. The only thing my interview letter asked for was to bring photo Id along with me to interview.
