Appyling for Occupational therapy 2014

Okay so i'm really panicking about the written task i'll have to do at the interview :'( has anyone done this already and if so how hard is it? And also how well do you have to write in order to get an offer.
Thanks :smile:

hey ya

What uni are you applying to?

And yes you write the tasks to get an offer.. so u would have to write as much information about OT as you know (depending on what the task is talking about, im assuming it's about OT anyway lol) but yeahh

It's not really difficult because if you weren't so confident during the interview (e.g a group one) this would be your chance to put down all you know and show your interest on paper..

Dont worry too much about it.. stay positive x

Oh you should be fine. . When I went for mine, they told us about the uni, course structure and stuff ..

We got divided into small groups & we had to do a timed essay on OT.. after we went into another room where we were asked questions about why we wanted to do OT and if we had done any relevant work experience..(if u haven't done one with an OT u might want to atleast talk to one).. Then we had to do a group task(organise a trip for disabled kids).
It might not be the same thing you'l do though..
BUT ..
Just make sure u are not too quiet.. give in your own suggestions and if possible be the group leader... talk more but dont dominate..

Goodluck xx

Hey Rebecca, I've applied to Sheffield Hallam too. Don't worry too much if I recall rightly, Sheffield Hallam give straight offers, not interviews first like the majority of OT courses. I don't think anybody has heard back from them yet.

Don't stress everything will be fine :smile:

I've applied to Sheffield Hallam and have got an interview on the 24th :smile:

Oh don't worry! I'm sure they'll contact you soon enough! I haven't heard of anyone else getting interviews so I'm worried that it means my application wasn't good enough! Haha.

I've also applied to Glyndwr, University of Liverpool, Brunel and Glasgow Caledonian.
I've received a conditional offer from Brunel which I'm over the moon about!!

What about yourself, where have you applied to? :smile:

Yeah hopefully! Oh no I'm sure that's not the case. Good luck for it anyway!

Well done on the offer from Brunel, I bet you were over the moon! Have you not had any interviews from the others yet?

I've applied to Coventry, Cumbria, Northampton, Derby and Sheffield Hallam. I've got interviews for Cumbria, Northampton and Derby and I've got a conditional offer from Coventry which is my first choice so I was really pleased about that! Just waiting to hear something from Sheffield!
