Dear Applicants,

As you continue preparing for your Chevening interviews, I want to share an important resource with you—a video about what you should not say during your interview. Avoiding common mistakes is just as important as knowing what to say!

📌 Watch the video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGe8Kq3IPNE/?igsh=YXl0Zm42M250M2ps

Take notes, reflect on your responses, and make sure to avoid these pitfalls. If you have any questions or need clarification, discuss them with your group or reach out to your leader.

Let’s make sure your interviews are as strong as possible! 💪

🚨Chevening Applicants, Don’t Say THIS in Your Interview! ❌ “I picked this university because it’s ranked high.” ✅ Talk about how the course aligns with your career goals and what unique aspects of the university will help you achieve them. ❌ “I applied to three random universities because I had to.” ✅ Show that you have researched and made thoughtful choices. #chevening #iamchevening #cheveningfco #cheveningscholarship #mycheveningjourney #cheveningalumni #foru #cheveningjourney #mycheveningjourney🇬🇧 #participantes #cheveninginterview
