OR Interview Prep?

newlifein2011

Hello,

I went BR on 05/09/2011 and have my OR interview on Wednesday, I was starting to feel so much better and now I can feel myself working myself into a state again.

Can anyone please advise of the best way to prepare for the interview - documents to have to hand etc? We haven't been sent any questionaires or anything. I booked the afternoon off work so that we can be interviewed together with my husband (at the OR's suggestion) I guess that means using a speakerphone.

Also, I have realised since the BR that I missed some expenses off my SOA on 6.28, is it OK to point this out at the interview? Looking back I was just so stressed out leading up to BR it's a wonder I managed the forms at all so hoping that the rest is accurate.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi newlifein2011, Deep breaths and you'll be fine. No worries you can tell the OR what you missed off the SOA when you speak.
Hope this helps too:-
It's nothing to worry about, its just for the OR to get a feel why you went BR. Before the call just look through your 6.28/SOA so your familiar with what you have said. If you have not sent off your bank/credit statements have them to hand. The OR will just go through your 6.28/SOA with you. Also before the call have a big mug of tea ready or a bottle of water, and while they are writing things down you can have sips of tea/water, so you don't feel you have to fill in the pauses. And if you don’t know the answer to a question just say so. Do have a list with all questions ‘you’ want to ask. Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes

Hi newlifein2011, I too have my interview on Wednesday but I think the worst has gone, going BR in the first place.

I'm going to make a list of questions to ask the OR and also try and find as much paperwork and information to hand. I figure it would be over quicker that way.

Then fingers crossed once the interview is over, apart from any changes in circumstances, that would be the last your hear from them:)

This was the part I was dreading the most:( But in all honesty it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be:) Just be totally honest and you shall be fine.
