•
Research your subject area which you have applied for (specifically look at the modules you could be studying)
•
What is your thought process behind applying for your chosen pathway?
•
What has inspired you?
•
Consider your appearance (even if it is a remote interview)
•
Time keeping (give yourself time to connect and log on or remember to arrive early for your interview, giving you time to find where you need to be)
•
Bring your photo ID with you.
•
Consider how you conduct yourself from the moment you have correspondence with CCCU (email etiquette)
•
Be appropriate (the interviewer does not need to know your life story or hear inappropriate language)
•
Tone of voice and eye contact (This is still important in a remote interview)
•
Interviews are a two-way process (have some questions prepared for the interviewer to show that you are keen)
•
Be aware of current affairs and issues in your chosen field.
•
Think of examples where you can demonstrate your values (part-time work, volunteering, school, family)
•
Discuss Values Based Recruitment
•
Know who the regulatory body is for your chosen profession
•
Remember to mention NHS Constitution – working together for patients, respect and dignity, everyone counts, commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives.
•
Link your transferrable skills to the 6 C’s: Care, commitment, compassion, competence, communication and courage. Although you may not hear the term 'the 6Cs' being used in the interview, your values should feed naturally in your answers.
•
Are you prepared for the practical elements of a career in Healthcare? Shift work, being on your feet all day, working with people with complex problems and long-term conditions, experiencing death.
•
Take your time, you don’t have to answer questions immediately.
•
Pause before answering and collect your thoughts (remember to take a sip of water)
•
Ask your interviewer to repeat a question or rephrase if you do not understand what is being asked.
•
Being well-prepared is a good anxiety reliever (research your profession).
•
Research your potential university
•
Prepare answers to commonly used questions (research Values Based Recruitment!)
