I haven't heard back from queens or UU since sending my 600 word personal statement mid december and I'm stressing!! Is this a good or a bad sign? 😣


You should give them a ring and chase it up!

Hi, after you are asked to complete the 'sharing' information sheet, are you automatically given the 2nd personal statement thereafter?

Thanks 😁

Thats great thanks. How long has anyone had to wait after they have sent off their 2nd personal statement to find out if they get an interview or not?

Hi, I'm new to this thread and was looking for some advice. I sent my consent and declaration back on 24th Jan, but haven't heard anything since. Does anyone know the timeframe between this and the 2nd personal statement request. Hey and good luck to all those having interviews shortly.

Applied to only uu 3yr and dungannon 🙄. Applied for all last year but travel is not really practical as I'm not far from magee so here's hoping! Dungannon not too bad either and it's only for the first 2 yrs so added it as well. Have you rang them?

Second time. I failed interview last year 🙈. Bad nerves. Be yourself and speak from the heart 😊 think before answering and relate questions to ur own personal experiences as much as possible and don't waffle on 😂. Best advice I was given so far!
I've an interview for queens on 28th February, so anxious already

Don't be stressing yourself now you've done all you can do ☺. At least it's done and out of the way for you and fingers crossed it goes your way! Did they throw any random ones at you?

Yeah I'm going to try avoid thinking too much about it until I hear! Nothing random - just a case of making sure you know what a social worker does and the needs of different service users.
One thing I'm annoyed about is that I didn't refer back to my experience enough!
