I don't think I gained much from the online edip. We just had to listen. I'm sure my answer would be different if I'd attended in person. There was nothing interactive about it.

I see-I take it then that you did the edip this year then cos of Covid

Yes. If I get the sdip at least I'll get to do something. Applying for the edip was great application experience.

What’s that?

Just a thing I was invited to do.

Did you feel like they gave good feedback?

Is that anything related to just an SDIP application (not a fast stream application)?

It's not related to the sdip.

Someone who did the EDIP mentioned being invited to do something like that, so I imagine it might be related to that. I'm due to interview at the beginning of December and haven't had anything about that, so I don't think it's related to the SDIP itself.

It's not related to edip, it's not related to either. I did a similar thing for them after doing the edip.

Oh ok so it was the application process in itself that you felt was helpful-not their input in it, I thought that the had given feedback after you’d gotten in to help you for future applications

As in, they invited them to do it because they'd been involved in the EDIP, so they also did it afterwards. Yours might be a different scenario, though. Just didn't want people panicking if they thought it was related to the SDIP and it meant something that they hadn't been invited.

Yeah the application process was good. I felt that I got a lot from applying and getting through. I never received any feedback. I'm less nervous for my telephone interview this time, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I thought I was going to cry last time haha I was so nervous.

Haha yh I get what you mean particularly when you physically can’t see the person you’re talking to so there’s no social cues to go by

My interviewer was so nice. At first she seemed a bit serious and scary and it turned out she was lovely.
Hey guys, I've applied for the edip and I just go through to the telephone stage. Do you have any tips? I'm stressed just thinking about it lol

Ooh exciting. Have you had any mock interviews? I hate mocks. I can't do it if it's not for real.
