 Guys I've got an interview! It's my best one! Yes! I'm so excited I'm so nervous I'm gonna cry. I'm just knowing I've got six months left and then I'm finally qualified. It's the best feeling. I'm crying happy tears these are sad these are happy. It's just the best feeling in the world knowing that I'm nearly there and it's all worth it. So I did a little video with my first job application a while ago and I've applied for around eight jobs community based GP based and I had three rejections so far and they all said the same thing it's too early to apply because I don't qualify till November and it's really disheartening when you hear that and you think okay it's not you're not good enough it's just you're too early to apply but when everyone else around you your friends other students are posting things saying that they bag themselves a job on the perfect ward the dream job and it's really disheartening. So let's finally get an interview this is what I need to do show them what I've got and hopefully bag a job. I'm so chuffed. Yeah so if you are applying for jobs and they come back at you with unsuccessful on especially on NHS jobs they just put unsuccessful and they don't really give you much feedback some of them so please email the person that's on the NHS job and just get some feedback so that you can improve or just ask the reasons why because that's really going to help you for your next application and that's what I did because all of my said unsuccessful and I was there like why I've got all this experience I'm gonna qualify why but so I did I emailed and I said I'm really sorry I just wanted to ask why the decisions was made and all of that jazz and they all said literally it's just too soon to apply they want someone that can fill the space right now because everywhere's short everyone's looking for a nurse to start as soon as possible they don't want to wait six months which is fair enough and I completely understand that but for me is so disheartening and now I've had the message to say I've been offered an interview which is on Friday this is so soon I'm just like oh my god what do I need to do so this is how I'm preparing guys are you ready going over the trust person specification and the job description just to make sure I know what they're expecting of me I want to know that I'm gonna meet all the essential needs and hopefully explain that in the interview I'm going over their trust values their aims and goals all of that that's on the website for you to read I'm just gonna also go through my personal statement and see what sort of things I mentioned in there I am also going to write down some main questions that they might ask so they might ask why I want to be a nurse they might ask why specifically them what stands out for them they might ask what can I bring to the team they sometimes ask questions about team working and successful team working what I can bring to that things like that so I'm gonna have a think and just jot down some things and just work through my answers and make sure that I'm just confident on the day because I know all these answers these are things that I know I do every day I smash my placements I get really high grades from a placement I know I'm amazing practice wise but in interviews when you're under pressure your mind goes blank you can't even answer the simplest of things it's really frustrating because that person doesn't know you they don't know what you're like on placement they don't know all of your experience and what you've had to deal with and how amazing you might be out there so you have to put that across in the interview and sell yourself and this is the part that I struggle with so I need to smash it I need to just practice I need to just go over everything and just make sure that I don't mess up don't let the nerves get the better me and fingers crossed I'm gonna bag myself a job finally and not just any job the dream job a long full-time happy career in the NHS wearing the blues it makes me really emotional guys oh my god here we go again with the waterworks but when it's taken you ten years to get to this point it's just it's just amazing every single knockback every single failure everything the challenges have been through I've had so much going on especially second year I had so much going on I almost didn't finish and had to defer it's all it's all worth it this is amazing but you know what just to get an interview finally after three rejections it just makes it so real it just makes it so real that I'm there I'm almost qualifying I'm gonna wear my blues and it's just the best feeling in the world and just you wait just you wait students if you're there if your first years if you're just starting you're gonna be starting in September I know some of you are third year is gonna have you like this you're gonna be so emotional you're gonna know not even know what day of week it is oh it's gonna be the best feeling in the world and you'll know that the three years that you've just gone through has been worth it let's calm down for a second so after my interview on Friday I will completely vlog you all and let you know how it went I'll let you know what sort of things they might ask in your interview if you have an interview I don't think we're allowed to tell each other specific questions publicly like this don't think I'm sure there's some sort of rule around it so I don't want to give anything away but I will go over some of the things that you might need to know I already know that I need the six C's everybody practice your six C's and that's just some preparation that they've asked me to do is to go through the six C's and how I'm gonna apply that into practice that's something they want to know so that's something I am gonna prepare for the day write it on word document and print it out but I will let you know anyway whatever the case whatever happens on Friday I'll let you know what happens and I will talk it through you as always because you guys are with me every step of the way thank you so so much anyone or anyone else that you've asked me to so so much anyone all of you that follow and have followed my journey thank you so so much I'm sorry I got emotional I'm just absolutely chuffed I'm not gonna have time to do a vlog over the weekend about the interview and then I'm working during the week so actually I might just save the interview for the next Sunday the following Sunday which is the second of June so I will post this video week on Sunday which is the second of June it'll be there for your wall fingers crossed it's gonna be alright and actually by then I might have a response because sometimes it only takes them five days or so to get back to you with a reply so I might even have a reply by next Sunday but if not it's just a waiting game and it's probably gonna be the most nerve-racking but we shall see and I shall see you this Sunday for my last placement vlog for this half of term so have a great week guys and I shall see you all on Sunday for my regular placement vlog
