Interviews

Hi everyone, So today I am going to a sixth form interview at one of my local grammar schools and once I have done the interview I will tell you all what my experience was and what sort of questions they asked so you may be as prepared as you can be. See you on the other side!
Okay, so it is the next day and I thought I would give you some of my tips for doing a good interview:

1. Stay positive - interviewers don't like it if you are negative, talk about your achievements and favourite subjects, not about the ones you hate.
2. Keep talking - obviously not too much but don't stay silent until spoken to.
3. Don't be afraid to show off - you want to sell that you will be perfect for this job/school so don't be shy to tell them about your achievements or skills.
4. Have a good handshake - this may sound stupid but if your handshake is confident and strong it will give the interviewer a good first impression.
5. Be honest - this also may sound a bit strange but some people lie about things they have done to hopefully seem more appropriate but I am telling you now; it will come back to bite your ass later!

Hope some of you found this useful, there are obviously a lot more tips and over the years I will probably add to this post but at the moment, this is what I found the main things.

Choosing the right A-Level choices

Hi everyone,
So as it is coming up to when you all have to, like me, choose your a-level subjects and where you are going to take them I thought I would give a little piece of advice:
If you are not sure what you want to do as a career do things that interest you and you know you will enjoy, because if you enjoy a subject you will do well in it.
Secondly, don't pick subjects because that is what your friend is doing, it may not necessarilybe the right subjects for you; my friend BeingLaurita is into all the academic stuff (maths and science) where as I enjoy the more essay-based subjects (english and psycology) so we are doing completely different things.
If you are sure what you want to do as a career then research that career to find out the best subjects to take for that career.
If you have a careers adviser at your school go and talk to her to be confident about your subject choices.
Talk to your teachers and find out if they think you will be able to do well in that subject.
Check out the requirements for that subject because if you don't meet the requirements there is no point in even looking it the subject (sorry to be blunt, but it's true).

Hope this helped you.
