Hi all,
OK first post... hopefully someone can help me out and maybe put my mind at rest (or not).
Im a mechanic, 28, with qualifications and experience (NVQ LV3), i gained my qualifications 7 years ago.
Im applying for permanent residency soon and my main concern is with the vetassess interview via video call, i would really like to hear from people that have experienced this part of the process.
I know myself i'm capable of doing my job but with it being years ago that i was last trained, and often rarely encountering some of the aspects of what i was originally trained in day-to-day, i'm worried what they will ask me and whether i will have the correct answers for them to pass!
I am worried mainly about questions on testing electronics, auto gearboxes... areas that i haven't had much to do with, things that i know i could repair but still i'm worried about answering questions on them.
i have read a couple of threads on a similar topic but the only answers i came across was people saying 'don't worry, its not actually that bad'........... i'm still worrying! lol
I guess i would love to hear from someone who has done the interview as part of there process and to explain what it was like in a bit more detail...
Is it hard?!
What sort of questions would they ask?
How in-depth do they expect you to go?
How would they ask them?
Is it more of a conversation than a test?
How long dose it take?
How would you recommend i prepare?
Im not trying to worry too much but it just feels to me like this would be the deal breaker of the whole application! :arghh:
If anyone feels like they could help me out, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark
