Pre Course Instructions
You have received a job description/person specification and an application form with this course programme. Copies can be found on the SEMMED website.
You MUST complete the application form and bring at least 8 photocopies with you on the day for group work.
This day will be maximally beneficial if you complete the application form as though you were really applying for this job and so we encourage you to do so.
The application form will be viewed by other preregistration pharmacists and facilitators and you should therefore only disclose personal details that you are willing to share with the group.
On the day you will be split into small groups and each group will be facilitated by a person who is experienced in recruitment issues.
You will undertake the selection process (proforma included) for all of the members in your group and ultimately may be selected for interview. The interviews will be observed by other trainees on the study day.
Not every student will have a chance to be interviewed – all applications will be subjected to short-listing procedures.
If you would like to receive independent feedback on the structure and content of your personal statement from your application form and your CV, please bring a copy along on the day.
