Hello am new to this site and have found it very useful trying to prepare me for my interview at canterbury christ church university thurs 13th march.

I have wanted to pursue midwifery since I was at school but never got accepted after interview at greenwich 1999 and then other things come along in my life like husband and my own children. My children are now 5 and 3 so now have the opportunity at 27 to try again and am very very nervous.

I have subscribed to bjm and have been researching current issues etc.

Any advice??

Thanks dawn x

Best of luck Dawn with the interview.

Lots of useful stuff on here for you to peruse. Also the BJM is a good journal.

Tell them how much you read and what you have learned and let them see how enthusiastic you are and WHY YOU should be chosen to train!

Go for it!

Well done, your half way there. The one thing i say to people when going for interviews is to try and show some of yourself. Something for the interviewers to remember you by. Even if its a little joke, i dont mean a knock knock.

My example was by saying that 'i have to admit to watching student midwives on sky and...... enjoying it!! (now linking it into something related) Being able to see more of what is entailed as a student midwifes gave me a better understanding of the role.

I know its a bit odd but when i spoke to one of my lectures she said that is what got me my place. I was not afraid to speak honest and they saw i bit of my personality.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Hi Dawn, welcome to the site. Sorry I am a bit late. Hope the interview went well.

I had my interview on 5th March at the medway campus, and am waiting to hear. Fingers crossed!!!
