got my feedback from my Stage 3 interview yesterday afternoon
It was very helpful, mostly because it was very specific and detailed - I know exactly where I went wrong (and reassuringly, it was where I suspected my answers had been a bit poor), and what aspects of the competencies they were hoping to see more of. As it was very specific feedback, it won't help anyone on here to post it up, and I probably shouldn't anyway, so I'll just repeat my earlier advice - focus on the competencies that NATS tell you they will be looking for, and times when you demonstrated them. That's all I needed to do and if I'd spent more time on just that I am confident I would now be scheduled for the February 2012 course
It was equally frustrating/comforting to hear that I was very close to getting through Stage 3 - I was urged to apply again (not that they needed to prompt me!) and I'm confident I'll get through next time round.
On that note - see you all in October
