I NEED this job!

[whiskeysheri]

Hi everyone!

I recently had an interview at university, and was rejected last week (I'm gutted). Normally, I'm really confident and I know I'd have been fine if only I wasn't interviewed as a group- it was the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I'm determined to get into the university next year.

There was a girl I really got on with at the interview, who already has a job in the profession. She will have to leave this if she is accepted (which she will be as she was fab) and has said she will put in a good word for me to apply for it. I'm desperate for this job as it should help me get into uni (I'd love it even if I didn't).

I'm poo at covering letters/ CVs, so can any of you give me any tips for both please? I need them to know that they need me :-))

Do you think it would help me to send my CV in with a written reference, as opposed to contact details, as my previous employer will be lovely about me?

Thanks in advance for any help x

Hey, it must have knocked your comfidence but it was only one uni and one time so dont take it to heart!!

I hate writing covering letters - you have to sell yourself without sounding arrogant! any way the link below (you may have to copy and paste it) shows you how to write a covering letter. On microsoft word there is a template for CVs so thats no problem you just rewrite it with your details!!

When you applied to uni did you put other choices, most unis have a clearing process, where if your rejected by one your application will be sent on to your second, or third choice,so prehaps all is not lost. Good luck and dont give up x

Thanks for the link nannon, it's fab. Just what I needed. x

jay139, I didn't apply anywhere else as the course is only at a few uni's and I really can't move away at the mo'. I have applied for clearing though, thanks. x
