I once applied to a course that had a minimum of 65% on the stats module as part of their criteria (several years ago). I've only ever seen it stipulated once as a criteria though. So all you can do really is just carefully read through the courses' minimum criteria and not apply for any courses tha...

And clients are the priority for most of us, not job applicants I'm afraid. I was finding your post an interesting and helpful read until you decided to be pointlessly condescending. It's disappointing that most of the qualified posters are coming across quite poorly in this thread. Ok, thank you f...

If you contact HR then perhaps they don't need to pass your name on to the interviewers, so that might alleviate concerns about it being counted against you. Though I would have thought HR must be aware of it, as they are usually the ones who send all the info out to candidates.

That seems concerning, as the guidance is clear about non essential travel and contact, and an interview can be done over video calling. If I was in your position I would contact the HR department to raise my concerns, though obviously it is up to you if you want to circumvent the interviewing team....

Apparently I should be a chef. Perhaps I am well suited to that job, apart from the whole not being that great a cook thing.

It sounds like video interviews have been tough for lots of people, it's completely understandable. Be kind to yourselves, no one expected it to be this way, and you won't be the only ones who struggled. And remember that everyone had to do interviews this way, and while it might have suited some mo...

Hi all, First time applicant, Sheffield Lancaster UEA Bangor Interview was a tough cookie...I think my offer to interview and success was due to really believing and chiming with the values and specialisms of the University I got selected for - I would personally consider this something absolutely ...

If it's still in your outbox then it hasn't been opened by the receiver yet (who sounds like they've got a lot to get through!).

Most of my anxiety around this is personal. I'm in a high risk group myself and not getting very far at work with adapting working arrangements yet (unless I'm actually sick - and, if I'm sick, I'm likely to be critically ill so that becomes a bit moot). It's a scary time to be a human person just ...

Good idea to contain to a thread. I work in older adult community mental health services (including but not limited to dementia services), and older adult mental health inpatient wards (including a dementia ward). The implications for our clients and our way of working with them feels overwhelmingly...

Food for thought, Spatch. I dislike a false dichotomy as much as the next person, but it doesn't feel that false when you literally don't see any clients for a week because you're spending your time reading applications, interviewing, and giving feedback. Still, nobody dies cos they don't have a the...

I was contacted for the first time this year with a request to help with shortlisting. I am really passionate about helping aspiring CPs, and with the whole recruitment process. I would have loved to have been involved with shortlisting... But I had to turn it down because I didn't feel that I would...

... what's the long term plan? I don't really know offhand what policies or documents would be useful. I'm a dementia specialist, so I could tell you about what's relevant there, but I'm not sure that would be hugely useful. Looking at the government website and taking a look at the most recent docu...

While you may not be asking for specific questions, you are asking for specific info about the interview, e.g. will they ask about X. This is against forum rules. Regardless, I would recommend doing some reading round NHS policies and issues. You've got an interview for a three year employment contr...

This is an interesting and important discussion, but have moved it to its own thread to ensure it doesn't detail the progress thread, and so any potential inaccurate info isn't the first thing people see when coming to the forum (as we know a lot of new users start with the progress thread).
