    CC 400 Words

    One of the questions CC ask for their TC is "tell us about your extra-curricular, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance you are most proud of". The word limit is 400 words, and I can't seem to meet that, I get stuck at about 300 before I begin to ramble and add nothing to...

    Questions relating to my degree

    Exams this year were much more relaxed as they were online, and we were even explicitly told not to cover certain lectures as they wouldn't be in exams. Because of this I'm worried my interviewer may ask be a rather particular question relating to one of my modules, for example, asking me about...

    Conflicting open days

    Two questions. Firstly, how many open days until it stops improving your CV. I was thinking about 5 would be sufficient? Secondly, I have confirmed attendance at two upcoming open days, however, the days clash, very silly on my part, however I'm not sure what to do. Should I just email grad...

    Is 2 weeks work experience sufficient?

    i've just done 2 weeks work experience at a nearby university (did work in many departments). This is my only form of work experience, do you think this is sufficient for first-year schemes or would it be wise to do some part-time work also?
