We are delighted with the success of the SMNET Edge and our delegates achievements. Below is a selection of comments from people who have attended our training days or used our consultancy service.
"I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to you and the SMNET Edge team for the training day in Cardiff University. The advice and information you provided has proved to be invaluable to me as I got an unconditional offer at my one and only interview." Alaina
"... I had a lot of trouble with my references to the point my place on the course was taken away by my Uni, I was devastated and felt like giving up. Josie helped me appeal the decision and wrote professional letters for me to submit. I got my place back and am now a second year student midwife." Nic
"It was a brilliant day, acquired loads of info and tips and the mock interviews were great too. Also had lots of laughs, and it was lovely to meet SMNET staff and members. Thank you so much for your support, I really do appreciate it. Can't quite believe I've done it... the Preparing for Interview training day was excellent and gave me a great insight into what to expect for the selection days... also made me realise how rubbish I was at maths! Thanks for everything!! Whoop! I got a place! I am going to be a student midwife!" Meggy
"I did it! I recieved an offer from my first choice! I’m totally elated! I keep checking UCAS to confirm its real! Thank you Annie so much for the telephone interview support, your help was invaluable. I’m going to be a student midwife!" LT
"Totally enjoyed the day would recommend it to every uni applicant. It was really laid back with lots of good information. The day gave me so much more insight into being a student midwife and a midwife respectively. I also got a place to study midwifery after attending the interviews day." Babylee
"After 3 times of applying I had given up hope when someone suggested I contact Josie via SMNET, she provided me with the guidance and skills to get through the selection process successfully. I am now a first year student midwife and loving it!." Debz
"I just wanted to thank Nici. All your help with my Personal Statement worked! I've been invited to interview!" Fi
"Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard to make the training day such an amazing and invaluable experience! With the help from the presentation and the feedback from the mock interview, I felt fully prepared for the interview. I came out of the interview beaming, smile from ear to ear! I just found out I received a offer from my first University! I screamed soo loud! I am soo proud and happy of this great achievement, as I feel that it is such a privilege to receive an offer as Midwifery is such a competitive course to enter. I honestly believe 100% that I wouldn't have got this result without the help and guidance of the SMNET training day. It helped boost my confidence dramatically and I feel that was what helped me sail through the most nerve wracking thing of my life! So for that ! am so grateful! The training day was so useful, and I would highly recommend that prospective midwifery students should snap up this wonderful opportunity when it comes up again! So thank you, thank you again!" Jazminda.
" .... I qualified as a midwife but couldn't get a job as I had no idea how the job process worked and my application and interview skills were very weak, despite having excellent grades on the course. Josie guided me through and I got my first ever job as a midwife with her help." KS
"Thanks Josie in helping me with my statement and preparing me for the hearing. I don't feel lost and alone anymore" Anon RM
"I attended the first interview training day in Cardiff and I am so glad that I went! The day was structured really well and included a mock interview, maths test and a short essay. The mock interview was for me personally where I needed the most improvement and after some really constructive feedback from the community midwife and Josie, I went away and thought a lot more about why I wanted to be a Midwife. A few weeks later I was called for two interviews and have an offer from one already! I felt really confident in my interview as I had worked on my weaker areas and can't thank the SMNET team enough for their help and support. I would recommend the day to anyone and you get to meet a lovely bunch of SMnetters at the same time, which is an added bonus! It is a brilliant day, everyone was so friendly and the mock interview, maths test and written test really prepares you for the real thing." Doodle.
"....Thank you so so so so so much Josie, you have been amazing help. You helped me to live my dream." M
