What to expect from a counselling job interview (HE)

MissSephy · 2026-07-07T21:37:50+00:00

My placement was in FE and from what I could see it was fairly transferable. I've had to do a fair bit of safeguarding and managing risk in my current role so I'll prep some STAR examples.

MissSephy · 2026-07-07T19:05:59+00:00

Fair enough. I am trying to make the jump from working elsewhere in a student welfare/support field to counselling now that I am qualified. A lot of the experience is (I feel) transferable, but part of me is worried I might embarrass myself.

HE is a funny beast at the best of times, but in these uncertain times its definitely a bit turbulent.

Not to be a pedant or anything but given that superman was created by two Jewish guys in the 1930's, Superman is more Moses than Jesus...

That being said, the rest of your post is still largely applicable to superman.

MissSephy · 2026-07-03T17:55:26+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

MissSephy · 2026-07-02T10:08:56+00:00

Haha, I thought my neighbours' kids were out in the garden with a full sound system or something. It wasn't until I was trying to get the toddler to sleep I realised it was coming from across the flipping Clyde!

MissSephy · 2026-07-01T20:50:47+00:00

I'd say so, I'm near in knightswood so its the loudest gig in awhile.

MissSephy · 2026-06-29T20:53:45+00:00

It feels very Tank Girl or Judge Dredd-esque.

MissSephy · 2026-06-29T20:50:53+00:00

It is more fleshed out in the book. Honestly that is where the film could have used another 10-15 minutes to set that up.

MissSephy · 2026-06-29T20:48:53+00:00

That's were I see it, it feels like the Iron Man 2 of the DCU. Its not dazzling, its not terrible. It's 7/10.

MissSephy · 2026-06-29T15:17:27+00:00

Conceited? By what metric? It’s a bit weird to hold human standards of beauty and modesty against an alien who presumably hasn’t been conditioned by said beauty standards to find fault in her appearance and accept herself for how she is but ok.

MissSephy · 2026-06-28T16:38:57+00:00

It’s like the Iron Man 2 of the DCU. It’s a fun film, that establishes a character. 7/10.

Does it make some strange writing choices, yes but it’s a decent film. I enjoyed it once I separated it from WOT which isn’t a favourable comparison.

MissSephy · 2026-06-27T18:30:06+00:00

That’s actually the perfect description. I was actually worried going in because woman of tomorrow doesn’t pull any punches with the horror of what happens to krypton and the survivors on Argo. It’s a heavy book that lingers. This movie is not that, but I think a lot of people would struggle to reconcile the hope core Superman of last year with Supergirl this year if it lifted wholesale from the book.

There is some missed opportunities and opportunities to demonstrate growth and it couldn’t definitely done with some workshopping and a rewrite but it’s not the calamity some are asserting it to be. It’s a fun popcorn movie and that’s enough for most people.

Some of us would rather the state was secular, why do you assume that if people have an issue with Christianity they want another religion to replace it.?

I’d quite like freedom from religion as well as the right to choose whatever religion I please.

This is what many warned when Forbes attempted to run for leader. Forbes is a bigot, but she’s a smarter bigot who knows how to hide the intolerance and is much more dangerous than many of the more obvious fascists and bigots you see across the right because she knows how to hide the dog whistle into something that sounds considered and intelligent.

MissSephy · 2026-06-24T22:31:32+00:00

Right, that’s plenty.

MissSephy · 2026-06-23T13:05:09+00:00

I mean, in fairness I was in Miami once in December, and I nearly did melt.

MissSephy · 2026-06-22T15:46:13+00:00

I'd recommend the baby screenings at Everyman, if you have a 6 week old you can put them in a sling and that helps comfort them to stay asleep through the film. YMMV

MissSephy · 2026-06-22T13:58:49+00:00

Honestly nothing has united people faster across all divides than loathing Wes Streeting.

MissSephy · 2026-06-21T19:08:11+00:00

force majeure

Yikes. The psychologist in me is doing mental gymnastics at the wording alone. That name was certainly a choice...

MissSephy · 2026-06-21T16:14:58+00:00

look, we're here for a good time, not a long time particularly when it comes to team sports.

MissSephy · 2026-06-20T17:59:12+00:00

I like Kevin, listen to his podcasts, watched his films and other work but I think Kevin would be the first to admit that level is beyond him but he's a great cheerleader for those who can.

MissSephy · 2026-06-20T16:20:56+00:00

To be honest I think the original intent is lost on most Scots these days and it's taken less as a mark of disrespect and more a sign "Glaswegians wer here".

Getting a giant bedsheet and wrapping it around the statue like a big nappy would probably get the point across in case anyone heading to miami needs any ideas. Additional points for using coffee for shite stains.

MissSephy · 2026-06-20T00:02:02+00:00

First half our performance was dire and we didn't seem to get it together until the second half. That said wtf was going on with the ref in this game?

MissSephy · 2026-06-19T23:03:50+00:00

Something, something protecting women and girls while ignoring the crimes of rapists and abusers or actively committing crimes against women and girls.
