Kings feedback

Today I phoned kings to ask for feedback why I wasn't offered an interview.

I need to know this information, sort of like closure from my first choice so I can concentrate on the others? Also so I can improve anything that wasn't good enough.

But I was suprised when she told me the feedback. First I was told it was lack of midwifery experience, but I am currently trying to sort out some experience with my local community midwives. Then she said that my personal statement didn't talk about current midwifery issues. I thought a personal statement was to sell YOURSELF  - your passion, your drive, your interests, your capability, your skills, your qualities, your experience. Not discuss things they already know about and that anyone can pick up a newspaper and read? So yes, I was quite surprised.

I was told if I'm lucky I may get an interview in the new year once they've interviewed all the best people. LOL.

When I hung up I was trying not to cry, but I've been thinking about it and I honestly believe it's their loss. I mean, I've got the highest score possible in everything on my access course, my tutor wrote a fab reference basically saying I'm an amazing student. I know I'm going to do bloody brilliant at uni - if they can't see that... if they don't understand my passion, skills, knowledge - potential! Then they are missing out on what will be one heck of a great midwife.
