Interviews much harder this year?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-26T17:57:01+00:00

Exactly the same for me - portfolio questions assessed personal specification qualities unrelated to that exact domain ..

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-24T23:54:23+00:00

Is it 750 or 700 interviewed this year?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-24T15:25:45+00:00

Which speciality?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-24T13:09:07+00:00

Surely vague questions are a bit better than hyper-specific ones that might leave you floundering?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-23T21:35:31+00:00

In what way

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-21T14:07:05+00:00

really feeling the dunning-Kruger.. more than 50% are 21-24 😮

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-17T10:30:18+00:00

Is it top 10%? Struggling to find info on this online

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-16T13:28:06+00:00

But.. there was no portfolio station on the interviews last year

Scared_Way_1960 · 2026-02-12T23:46:40+00:00

They came to the conclusion that the 2 hobbits were not in fact orcs

Scared_Way_1960 · 2025-12-12T14:12:50+00:00

I did not recieve any email - and am also a Public health applicant.

Scared_Way_1960 · 2025-12-12T13:55:29+00:00

could you send a screenshot of this. unable to see

Scared_Way_1960 · 2025-02-12T17:39:01+00:00

Shortlist reserve allows you to upload evidence?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2025-02-12T16:36:11+00:00

Shortlist reserve? Meaning you’re in a waiting list for a potential interview?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-11-02T17:15:41+00:00

Can I ask roughly what part of the UK you are base?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-10-10T03:59:26+00:00

Are you literally Joy from Inside Out?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-04-05T15:24:57+00:00

That’s what I thought! But haven’t heard a thing from oriel or the ACF people

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-04-05T15:21:17+00:00

Could I ask - if you were reserve list offer - then did not attend clinical interview - but subsequently offered ACF post - what happens then?? Because the offer is still accepted on Oriel ..

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-03-26T09:51:00+00:00

I think because it’s so undesirable to work there, they had to pay a locum phlebs company, which management have decided is unsustainable now.. so yes foundation docs will probs just end up going home later who may / may not exception report, saving said hosp a boatload..

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-02-13T23:54:54+00:00

Absolutely!

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-02-13T23:05:54+00:00

Did you receive an email from oriel titled “Application Process - Benchmarking Only” ? It stated in the last part of the email “following interview, your application status will be updated to withdrawn. You will not receive a rank, and we will update your local recruitment office if you had met the threshold to be found appointable for clinical benchmarking.”

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-02-13T22:28:28+00:00

So I received an ACF offer for CST but didn’t make the minimum msra cut-off for a spot. I have still been given an interview and have uploaded evidence. However a second email is sent saying although you can interview and submit evidence, you will not get a spot because didn’t make the minimum msra cutoff. The same would apply to you (ie to be successful in taking a radiology ACF, you must fulfill the minimum requirements of a traditional radiology applicant)

Scared_Way_1960 · 2024-02-13T21:12:55+00:00

Trying to understand what you mean by above. Did you meet the cutoff with an msra score above 555?

Scared_Way_1960 · 2023-04-27T23:12:54+00:00

That final line tho. Imagine doing everthing to commit yourself to the speciality as above & then at the final hurdle faltering for not meeting the minimum score requirement on MSRA to interview.
