Selection Event tomorrow

[Rosie's Mummy]

Well this has come around very quickly, Im a bit nervous but really excited and just hope I dont fluff it up! Bought a nice new outfit today to wear so hope to be relaxed and do ok out of it - this is something that will change our lives if I get offered a place so everyone keep your fingers crossed for me pleeeeease!! Its at 10.30am and I hope to be home by lunchtime so I will let you know how it went.

 

[Tonks]

Good luck hun! Will keep my fingers crossed but I am sure you will do really well!

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Thanks Tonks - I think that because I want it so much Im a bit nervous about it; I think it should be ok, its based on a group discussion so I guess I've had lots of practice for that on this forum!

 

[Toonlass]

wishing you tonz of luck sweetie xx

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Thanks Toonlass; I just want it over with! xx

 

[ToffeePop]

You'll be fine Good luck for tomorrow and just try and keep as calm as you can - and be yourself. That'll be one of the main things that they're looking for. That, and how you interact with a group.

Don't get walked over, and don't talk over anyone else (I wouldn't imagine you would tbh) and you'll be ace!

 

[Tonks]

I've done lots of assessed group discussions with the military. You'll be fine Just remember to let each person finish, never interrupt, think about your response and don't be afraid to get involved in any discussion. Usually they are looking for someone who can speak confidently and put across their opinion well while also listening to others.

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Great advice thanks ladies, I'll keep all of that in mind

 

[Tonks]

A good way to show that you've been listening to someone, is when they finish say something like 'I agree with what you're saying' or 'I understand you're point of view, but I have a different take on that'.

 

[rakrak]

good luck hun, fingers and toes crossed for you but I bet you'll be fine xx

 

[titch]

good luck hun, cant wait to hear how it goes! Also maybe try and include people who are being quieter/more unsure by asking "what do you think?" or something similar. Show you're valuing the opinions of the whole group. x
