Re: Video Interviews
Has anyone heard about the arrangements for Southampton or Kings? I have interviews for both but haven’t heard anything re: what the plans are only that they will probably be online.

NHS vs Third Sector
Hi All, I have recently been offered two jobs. They are essentially the same role but one is in the NHS and one is for a voluntary organisation/ social Enterprise. I am a little torn with what one to accept and am wondering what benefits working for the NHS has over the third sector. -The third sect...

Re: Frustrated that my career is on hold
Hi Prosopon, I am in a slightly similar position but my little one is now a toddler. I am not qualified or on the DClin and have struggled a lot with the feelings you describe It is really tough to balance wanting a family but at the same time wanting to progress in your career. I have found it hard...

Re: Time to Give Up? *sad face*
Hi! Just wanted to say that I could have written your OP myself. I am a couple of years younger than you and I have a young child now. The cost of childcare, wanting to be home with my child while they are young and the stress of short-term, low paid contracts have made me decide that CP, at least f...

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
1. Not sure what to do next career-wise. Young child means I'm very limited in my options, there doesn't seem to be any way for me to progress in any direction that's flexible around family life. Maybe I just need to tick along in any old somewhat-related-to-psychology role until kids are older and ...

Re: post UG career advice
There is no harm in applying for paid assistant posts. You have relevant voluntary experience but it is very very competitive and so you may not get too far just yet until you get some paid experience under your belt. With regards to honorary posts; if you feel you can manage to work unpaid and the ...

Re: Very very disheartened
I empathise, I could have written this post myself. I have 5 years of AP experience in various settings and specialties (neuro, paediatrics, older adults, forensic) I have a 2:1 at undergrad and a distinction in my MSc. I have published my MSc dissertation and have a poster presentation on my CV (un...

Re: AP or PHD and NHS vs Private
Hi! Very interesting having read all of the reply's on here, thank you everyone! I wanted to put my two pennies in as an assistant and aspiring clinical trainee. I have had 3 different AP posts now and 1 private one. They have varied enormously in the NHS from being absolutely fantastic to being rea...

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
1. Finally, after 101 procedures and tests we have been given the go ahead to try again after the loss of our little girl. Equal parts excited and terrified as we never found out why she's not with us. 2. Starting MSc in a few weeks (because why not do everything at once?). Looking forward to a chan...

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
1. Reserve list again 2. Finding it really hard to care as I attended my baby's funeral 2 days before the interview. (I had a stillbirth in March). 3. Don't really know what to do now. I had everything planned out. I dont like not having a plan. 4. Its really put DClin drama in perspective. 5. I'll ...

Re: Surrey Request for Feedback on Interview Process
I was told in my interview that I would hear by the 29th by letter :shock: :? Maybe they don't even know! I was under the impression that the reason they are not letting people know as quickly as in previous years is that they are in a position this year to give more individual feedback? I thought t...

Re: Applying when pregnant?
Thanks for all the replies guys. I think the plan is still not to bother applying this year as the only benefit would be if any courses that gave me an offer were willing to defer the place until 2017. As I understand it as I will not be pregnant when the course starts (baby will be 3 months) they h...

Re: Applying when pregnant?
Thanks everyone. I think you've all confirmed what I already thought. Ive also done some tentitive research/digging around that appears to show the same thing. That they are very unlikely to defer a place to someone who already knew they were pregnant before applying. Like I said, all going well bab...
