Hey congrats on your interview! I hope it goes well, afraid I can't offer any advice because I only got a letter last week saying I needed to write a 2nd personal statement. I'm assuming they get to all applicants in stages.

Dress smartly and try not to come accross too nervous. Have confidence in yourself, all the best :smile:

Good luck for your interview! I've just returned my 2nd personal statement so nervously waiting for my interview letter! I haven't interviewed since I was 18 (7 years ago!!) so im fairly in the dark too! I agree with the dressing smart comment above-first impressions are important! Best of luck and let us know how you get on! Xx

Hi

Does anyone know what questions are being asked in the qub interviews? And are they the same questions being asked by UU?

Thanks!

oops that was my nursing interview letter i got today!! (meant to say)

ive had my qub social work interview already!

they ask you 6 questions. one being a scenario question! they ask u basic stuff like why u want to be a social worker. qualities youd expect off a social worker! dif service users and stuff!

we dont hear back until april if we have an offer :frown: and if you dont do well in the interview rejections are normally a couple weeks after interview!!

Hi there, I have been searching on here for a SW thread and was delighted to find this I have also applied for SW in Magee and QUB had my interview last wk this waiting is just horrible. I didn't ask when we would find out but as far as I know it can be end of April beginning of May. Did you apply to Magee and do you have a back up plan if unsucessful with SW?

Hi, I felt it went ok but its hard to tell as they don't give you anything to go on no e amil yet but its still early days I suppose it will depend on amount of applications. My preference is Magee though so fingers crossed for that. I hope you get your nursing in queens as its your first choice I have only applied for SW.
