AHAHA i was literally just stressing about this. A few of my friends have had interviews this week and most have worn like smart casual stuff like a turtle neck and blazer, shirt and jeans etc they said on the website don’t worry about what you wear but I still will 😭

And I’m sure you’ll do great too!! Xx

What I normally wear: shirt and waistcoat. Probably the good waistcoat (which in this case means the black one that actually fits me well instead of just hanging off of my frame)

... I'm going to look like I tried dressing smart for the interview, aren't I?

Haha mine is 3 at Hertford !
And honestly same, I’ve got to the point where i feel like I’ve read so much but can remember half of it, hoping it will come out when a question prompts me 😭

I’m nervous for the picture/object thing but I’m kind hoping most of the questions are stuff I haven’t prepared for so I won’t have to worry about remembering what I’ve read
