That's great well done! I'm sure you're glad it's over! I've still heard nothing but I know they've probably so many to get through! Did they give any indication on when you'd find out?

That's a good sign - pretty much means you've got in because if not you hear within a day or two! Don't want to get your hopes up but well done! What were your questions if u don't mind me asking?

On reflection of the interview there is things I've missed so I just hope what I've done was enough and I need to not think about it or I'll become obsessed with ucas.

They asked me why I wanted to be a social worker. I got a scenario. Other questions around the social work training basically what they sent to us in the post. I wasn't asked about previous course and how it relates or about any books or anything but they might ask completely different questions with others.

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!

hi my name is mark ive got an interview for queens tomorrow i am bricking it lol im currently doing an access course at the moment any pointers for interview thanks

Meant to add I thought there was only one group of interviewers but there's not. Two people get interviewed at the same time by two different interviewers so it's More competitive than I thought. Me and another girl were in at the same time

Did they ask you about current social work issues? I don't really know how to prepare for that one lol like I know one but it's more negative on behalf of social workers haha which definitely will not look good. I know how you feel! I panic every time I get an email lol
