At last, some feedback!
Although, I almost feel like I would have been better *not* getting the feedback from my TeachFirst application, because it's made me annoyed about it all over again :P
Essentially, they have several "core competencies" that they look for demonstration of throughout the assessment center. I scored very highly, apparently, in everything but Planning and Organisation where I got an average score (because I gave a duff example in my interview and my 7-min mock lesson wasn't interactive enough) and Humility, Respect and Empathy where I got a below average score (because I talked over people during the group exercise... something I only did to get the group back on track and on time, which I was praised for under the Leadership section!!). And that made me a "borderline case". I just ended up on the wrong side of the border.
I really don't want to be looking and applying for jobs just for jobs sake, but it's already now been a year since I graduated and I'm running rapidly out of options.
Ah well. It'll all work out *eventually*.
P.S. Send me an email or a message on facebook or something if you're in London and want to meet up over the next week and a bit. I'm not going to be able to make it to Canterbury for TagLAN this weekend, but Kim mentioned something about Tuesday or Thursday evenings, which sounds good. Yarrrr.
