My first interview as a new grad

hd7481

After 4 weeks waiting to hear back after closing date I was phoned yesterday and asked if I was still interested in the position and would I accept an invitation for interview on the 29th May. The job is a new grad Speech and Language Therapy job (not many around due to NHS freezing of post) and it is the first one I have applied for. It is based in Caithness which is 6 hours away from me so will involve an overnight stay.

I have booked a mock interview with uni and have the weekend before interview to prepare. Going shopping for a new suit tomorrow, is there anything else I should be doing (apart from stopping panicking!). Obviously I don't really know what to expect as I have never worked as an SLT before or had an interview and am expected to still be learning during my probationary year but I still need to get the balance right.

Eeek, any advice appreciated.

Congratulations, the gf works as a SLT and due to the lack of posts she found it really hard to get a job - but your preparing well and from the top of my head the interview style changed according to the trust. Some where there were lots of applicants did a group exercise and assesed that way, but another just simply interviewed her, asked her what area she wanted to work in, the experience she has gained and other common interview questions.

I've had an interview today and found it quite enjoyable lol :rotfl: Though god knows whether i got it or not

Good Luck and just try your best
