    Interview task on 'strategies to boost recruitment'. Any tips


    User: fallenonion - 01 June 2017 16:32

    All gone through!

    User: fallenonion - 30 May 2017 15:36

    Thank you Tudor_Queen. I'm amazed myself. So happy. Although at the minute my stomach is in knots because I'm still sat waiting for my contract because their HR person is on holiday. I just hope they're going to offer a reasonable amount or be open to negotiation. I'm sure it'll all be fine though.

    User: Tudor_Queen - 29 May 2017 21:09

    That is amazing! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

    User: fallenonion - 28 May 2017 20:22

    Thanks, yeah. I still need to confirm salary details etc but fingers crossed it's all going to go through ok, just waiting for the official offer now - delayed due to,the bank holiday,

    I got interview number three. I had it yesterday. My heads spinning. . .Lecturer, fixed term for two years. I'm having collywobbles about it but think I'm going to accept.

    User: Tudor_Queen - 27 May 2017 11:30

    You got the job after all???

    User: fallenonion - 27 May 2017 02:46

    Got it!!!

    User: Tudor_Queen - 24 May 2017 21:34

    Good for you! It will boost your confidence for the next one as well.

    You may have already done it, but if not, it may be helpful to make a written reflection on what went well at this interview (so you can prime yourself to do it again before the next one), and any areas for improvement. It always helps me whether it is an interview or a talk or what.

    Keep us posted :-)

    Just wanted to say thanks all for these tips. That part of my interview went really well, and I felt much more confident for having sounded it out here first. Still didn't get the job like, went to an internal candidate (not in a bad way, I'm sure they'll be better in the role than I would have) but was better than my other interview. So a step nearer, next one up in a few days time!

    User: fallenonion - 18 May 2017 23:33

    Thanks!

    User: pd1598 - 15 May 2017 09:18

    Good luck :)

    User: fallenonion - 14 May 2017 21:15

    Thanks Tudor Queen. They're already doing some good stuff (a blog, open days etc) but I can see some gaps in what they've got too - not much in the way of video, social - so I think I should be able to do as you suggest. It's at the uni where I did my pgce, about half an hours blast up the motorway, so I want this job so much, was chuffed to bits to get an interview...although I've got another application in somewhere else as backup! Cheers. Onion.

    Hi fallenonion

    Congrats on getting another interview invite so soon. I would add to what others have said and suggest looking at how their courses are currently marketed on the website, youtube etc. What are they already doing (and what are they not doing), how could you build on that, and what would it add. I come from a commercial background and it was always important to show you'd really done your homework on them as an organisation and were aware of what they already offered.

    Best of luck!
