Hey babe, are you coming to the interview tomorrow and did you manage to find your GCSE Certificates?

Hey, I haven't found my certificates :frown:

I think I'm still going to try my luck with an interview but I'm seriously thinking about just accepting my SCITT offer. Are you prepared?

Yes! Why do you ask? The people were nice and I like how the course is set out, I just don't think it's for me :smile:

I had an interview there about 3 weeks ago. Yeah I liked how everything is structured but i felt I wouldn't fit in. Lovely people but it was too small lol. I got an offer even though I thought the individual interview went so wrong! They are so quick, you'll probably find out tomorrow

I didnt have certificates for any of mine! I think as long as you produce them at a later date they will be fine. Just tell them you are ordering some new ones!

No I am not ready. I'm revising maths now, and I just need to think about what to say in my interview as feedback from my one on Monday said I didn't elaborate enough.
I have a false sense of security knowing I have an offer haha. If you like I'll message you the questions I was asked Monday as a guide? Every little helps right?!

Do you mean the fact that it's got lots of Asian people? 😂 I'm one myself lol.

It felt quiet and unenthusiastic. Apparently they're only taking 25-40 people.

Nope! It was too small that's why loooool I was well aware that loads of Asians went there! oh wow that's a small amount! If I were to go by race I would hardly fit im anywhere! I am black and there are barely any black teachers in primary schools looool

I had 2 interviews for schools direct in Manchester today for primary. One I messed up and another I felt I did a lot better. My final interview tomorrow is with Liverpool hope and they are asking for a lot more than the other 2. One from today said they would let me know by tomorrow, so I am not sure if that's a good or a bad thing?!

It depends upon the subject you are applying to. Like History, English fill far before than Maths,Physics.

Good point, I'm applying for French and Spanish probably in the South East somewhere.

Yes!!! I've finally sent off my application. Not expecting anything to happen before January, but I wanted to give my referees plenty of time to fill in the reference what with Christmas and stuff getting in the way. I feel so much relief though :smile:
