3 days of interviews at Norwich
University of the Arts – I really enjoy the process of interviewing and feel that
I personally work hard at making it a positive experience for the candidates. This
is due to the many terrible experiences I have had where the interviewers see
it as a combat zone rather than a space to explore opportunities (especially
the student who often sees it as a point scoring contest, not the way to get
the best from a candidate). This is on top of a really interesting ‘carousel’
process that NUA have instigated. The system includes time for everybody;
candidates, interviewer, student and support staff to talk, find their best and
reflect - really excellent. I’m already
looking forward to working with the individuals we have offered places to next
year.
I’ve been following Casey Neistat
http://casey.nyc/ for a while but wanted to share
his thoughts on education - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWaQM38Pzf0
2:49 mins in Casey’s advice to students
is excellent -
And then there’s the music – an eclectic
mixed bag - a little scary - but isn’t that
the point - girlpool blah blah blah blah - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWqzp3JGrRY
