I rang them before Christmas and they said they will be posting information . I will ring them next week and will let you know what they say as the letters should have been received by now, I would have thought. I will let you know the outcome.

I have an interview on the 9th. I called and they emailed the info through. You will do a group presentation and have an individual interview along with a short written test. U need to bring a children's book of ur choice that u would use for a first lesson. Also keep up to date on any issues within the education sector :smile:

Aw good luck!
I emailed the uni about details for the interview and they said that 'details will be emailed in due course'. but slightly worried as my interview's in just over a week and I'm not going to have much time to prepare! :frown:

How did u think it went? I didn't like the structure, and they left us on our own for the written task meaning everyone just googled words they couldn't spell :frown:

Yeah it was okay I though! It was really unstructured I agree, I kinda liked that we were let off to get on with it but I couldnt concentrate so my writing is poor :frown:

the interview was okay I thought and the book thing okay! How did your day go? :smile:

The individual interview was okay, only last 10 minutes which went so unbelievably quick!! They only asked about 5 questions, nothing about the current educational issues that they asked u to research or your cv. The group presentation lasted a bit longer, u worked in groups of 4, going for ur individual interview whilst preparing the presentation. I didn't like it as they didn't observe how any of us worked in a group, how we communicated, how we organised our work or how we worked as a team( as they were doing the individual ones at the same time) !!
The interview itself wasn't difficult I just didn't feel they got to see how we worked :/ bit gutted!

Yeah the staff were lovely!! They gave u a big talk at the beginning telling u the kind of things u need to say and ideas about what u can talk about which really relaxes you :smile:

I wore a grey dress with black tights and a beige blazer. Everyone was smart but some more than others, for example some people wore cardigans instead of blazers, some people wore trousers other skirts with shirts. All the boys wore shirt and tie :smile:
