I came across your videos/channel a few months ago and I found it a huge help and encouragement in continuing on with my job hunt . Especially after getting rejections as a fellow Christian and feeling fairly down and having to learn to trust my faith, it was heartening to watch the raw content of some your videos where you’d been through the same situation and to learn of ways I could look past that and take on the constructive criticisms from feedback and adapt from them. Anyways, I just got my offer for an AP post and wanted to share my appreciation for your channel 🙏❤️
Thank you for such a lovely comment! It's really made my day! Faith is honestly everything. Especially with the amount of rejection it takes to get an AP post. Im so so happy for you, congrats!
I feel the exact same! Thank you for making this video 🙌🏾. The constant rejections were getting to me and didn't know how I needed to improve. You really broke things down and it clearer for me to go again! God bless you 🙏🏽
Thank you for this! I've been applying loads for AP and Trainee PWP posts, but only had 2 interviews for Trainee PWP (which were sadly unsuccessful). Looking forward to your future videos!
700? The NHS gives about 500 per section now, concise is right! Thankyou so much for this video, I've only had a handful of AP interviews over the years and this is motivating me to keep trying!
About to get back into applying for AP jobs. It's been over a year since graduating from my Master's and starting working for the NHS and this video has been really helpful and motivational to get me back into the process of doing applications. Thank you! :)
What a gem of a video! I’ve watched quite a few videos similar to this one I probably learnt the most from this one! Encouraged to start applying now!✨
Love your videos! I'm wondering if you could please advise how I can get clinical experience such as scoring GAD or depression tests? I am doing a psychology conversion masters degree in September as I didn't get GBC for my psych and counselling undergraduate degree. I've been working as a support worker for individuals with learning disabilities and am due to start volunteering with service users with eating disorders and working as an activity coordinator for service users with dementia next month 😁
How do they know if you have copied and pasted the supporting information section between applications? Thank you so much for the video it was very helpful :)))
I've heard quite a few people mentioning that bullet points make it much easier for the panel to shortlist and that this is recommended? Can you please explain why you think this shouldn't be the case? thank you!
Thanks for the video! So glad to have found them! They are all very helpful! I have changed to writing my applications in bullet points. Would you suggest writing doing so?
I wouldn't suggest doing that as I think it disrupts the flow of the supporting info. and makes it appear more like notes rather than a reflective piece. But that is just what worked for me!
I am applying for a job in London. The application form is asking for answers for supporting statement section. The question is like "Evidence of excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing. " What answers am I supposed to answer? Do I have to qualify a language test to support my answer as evidence? Is it simply that I have to mention in the answer about the language test that I have qualified for?
From my opinion I think the language test isn’t important, u just need to mention how well u can relay ur message to another person depending on who ur talking to and how well u can give detail and communicate to them for example using gestures or body language or facial expressions or using easy to understand words or staying formal or informal depending on who u talk to, written examples could be like presentation scripts and similar
Hi, I'm just self-conscious that I only have experience in one role (currently doing that following my degree). I'm aware you mentioned to structure the supporting information using your previous roles, however since I'm in my first role within the mental health field, what would you suggest in this situation? I'm concerned my supporting information won't have as much flow and won't stand out if I only have one role to refer to...

All your videos are extremely helpful, so thank you so much! I learn so much from them xx
So glad it helped you! Let me know if there are any specific topics you would like me to film a video on xx
Thank you Sharon this video has been so helpful! Going to re-write my supporting statement again :D
Im applying for a trainee APP position and really appreciate this video! Thank you so much for filming this 😊
Wishing you the best of luck!!

you're such a legend for making these. just submitted my 20th application and it all feels a bit hopeless.
20 could be the magic number! The 21st application got me my first interview lol
Same after 20 applications, i got an interview but in private psychological service @@SharonB

What advice for you give to someone who has done part of their education in a different country. I find it so difficult
How do they know if you have copied and pasted the supporting information section between applications? Thank you so much for the video it was very helpful :)))
Thanks for this video Sharon it's so useful! Such a good way to think about the applications and how to write them.
I'm glad it was helpful for you!!
I've heard quite a few people mentioning that bullet points make it much easier for the panel to shortlist and that this is recommended? Can you please explain why you think this shouldn't be the case? thank you!
Personally, I have not used bullet points but other people have been shortlisted using bullet points. I prefer not to because it feels less formal.
@@SharonB thank you :)
Do 800 or 700 words also work for experienced persons that want to express everything about there related experience?
I would suggest keeping it to 800 words max. Only include the experience relevant to the job you are applying to!

Nope!!

Hey try to get more roles if u can paid or unpaid or if u can’t try to mention all the different skills u learnt from one role
It’s like writing an essay
it is!
