What are some things I should write on my personal statement bc I haven’t been able to get work exp? And do city do interviews? So sorry for these questions, it’s so hard finding info on the optom foundation year

That's okay, I know that when I was applying it was super hard to find information about Optom let alone foundation year optom so I'd be more than happy to help!! I applied through clearing as I didn't make it into the main course. Some really good things to write in your ps would be any times you've done volunteering. When I was writing my ps it was actually for medicine, but I got my two offers for optom. As long as you show genuine interest in wanting to work in healthcare and that you're curious about learning, I'm sure you will be fine. I believe City do interviews however they gave me an offer around march so I didn't need to attend an interview. (this was really brief but if you need more support or have specific questions dm me )

Thank you soo much for replying to mee, it means the world 😫 did you apply through clearing on results day? Also did you talk about anythign optometry related? Like ocular diseases/anything like that? I don’t have any volunteering or work experience related to optom (I’m going to try to get it during half term) but I’ve done a lot of in school things
