2:40 hbu. I just had my sheffield interview this Wednesday ( orthoptics) and i found that the interview process was not that scary when ur in the interview the interviewers are really nice and mostly carry the convo and most of the questions they ask are very generic so don't worry abt it i would say thats u should just try and be calm and talk to them just like u practiced for ur mock interviews. A liitle side note ; dont worry if u mess up a little bit its okay they understand just make sure u smile and continue.

I have my interview tomorrow at 3:10 and I’ve also seen a lot of people say that they’ve done there interview and it’s taking a while to get an offer or a reply in other threads. Also, can you tell me some of the questions that came up so I can plan beforehand x
