    Here's one then:

    What part would you play in delivering One of a Kind service as part of our front office team?

    But like I say, I don't want them answered for me. My way of learning is to have a go myself, then show someone and find how it could be worded better or if anythung needs adding / removing.

    Thats how I passed my A Level Business, predicted grade F based on GCSEs. Worked guts off doing practice questions, then showing teacher and finding out if they were good, what could be improved etc. Got a C as final grade which to me was like an A


    Ok so what's you reply for that question?

    Would it be such a daft thing to say to my advisor, look I don't want you to answer them for me. Alls I want is you to read through them afterwards and see if wording could be better or if I need to add anything in

    She wants me in jobsearch twice a week now, back in on Fri afternoon. Whats the point if help is not allowed
    the WP 'advisors' are meant to be the people who know how to apply for jobs, what to write etc and I can safely tell you they do not know any of these things.

    Dunno, my cover letter was re-worded by my advisor today and sounds so much better than my wording

    I can guess they will say they do not have time.

    You are better seriously asking on here

    Yes I have been there, done that. I signed in, sat at PC for 1 hour and went home. Yes of course I emailed the jobs I applied to in the hour to my advisor but they had no idea what I was doing nor cared and its just for the paperwork to make it seem they are doing something.

    Mine are a bit more stricter than that as they do bother with what we are up to and stuff. They do check what we applied for and that, have to do a job search tracker at every appointment

    I was never given one of them whatever they are but I have seen sheets others filled in and handed them back in at the end. I never had to do that, I just emailed them 5 mins before I left as well as the email I would send them every Thursday with all the jobs I have applied for on and they 95% of the time could not even bother to reply to me.
