Hey guys, only getting caught up with all the chats now and i'm noticing alot of people saying we hear on may 7th however i've been told by my school that the final deadline to chose your firm and insurance choice on ucas is the 5th may... ? how does this work do we just wait and make our choice after or what? i only have 2 choices to hear from left and its my social work in UU and QUB :confused:
Hi rachel

Hi guys, just came across this site which is great :smile: I had my interview last Wednesday an it didn't go as planned. Didn't get to mention any of my experiences or link in theory, so disappointed with myself :frown:...I know a few people who got rejected two days after interview, however because mine was so close to easter I'm thinking I could be rejected on Monday. .what do you all think?

I applied to UU and studied for weeks an had learnt way too much, but it all left my head when I got in there lol...I did it 5 yrs ago but failed interview so i iv a feeling its the same thing this time round :frown: ah its so nerve wrecking lol...good luck to u I hope u get it an thanks for the reply :wink:

I also had my interview last wed at queens. I had under a week to prepare and I was up late learning everything and had put a lot of work in but I didn't cope well at interview I got too nervous and forgot everything and felt awful afterwards I was quite upset. I haven't heard anything yet but I was thinking the same because of Easter holidays that's why I hadn't heard. It's an awful feeling when u know ur capable of more but I'm sure a lot of ppl were the same
Girls I'm sure u have done better than u both think!! we have all come out of our interviews and had that feeling 'I should have said this and that'! No news is good news-keep positive!!! :smile: x
It is really awful when u know your capable of much more, sounds like we we're both the same with nerves :frown: but fingers crossed we did better than we think!! And everyone is right, we are all on the same boat wit feelings of self-doubt so maybe we should start thinking positive lol I can try anyways, well atleast aftr I know when they are back aftr easter hols lol....sorry I'm new to this so trying to keep up with how it works :smile: x
When I first came on this today the lay out was much different to what it is now so im slowly trying to work it out lol

Yeah I came out feeling terrible so that's why I went on the internet to find tbis because i needed to speak to people who were in same position and I'm also new to this. I think I will apply again next year I'm going to be 29 in June and I feel like maybe I'm too old but I went through 4 years of uni and started uni quite late because I had my daughter young so feel like iv missed my chances at a good career :frown: but I don't want to give up
Jen I feel exactly the same, il be 34 in oct an only just graduated summer past, I spent the last 15yrs being a mammy to my 3 children so I know how u feel. However, when I applied 5yrs ago I was no where near confident enough to imagine being a social worker but now I'm ready, iv also been a youth ans community worker the past 5 years which I didn't even get to mention in interview :frown: altho it was on my personal statement. To be honest I felt a bit rushed in interview and kicked myself when I got out as to not just throwing all the info in lol...I think your age is perfect for sw as your a mature parent wit life experiences :wink: u can empathise with alot of people!!

Andrea I was the exact same, I kicked myself when I came out about stuff that I should have said, but everyone in the same boat! So hopefully that will lessen your worries! What is done, is done and hopefully it went better than you think!😊 good luck!
Aw thanks Fran and same too u :wink: just wish I could do the interview over again!! lol but hoping they allow for nerves an that I got enough info in :wink:
