Although selection processes often involve more than just a panel interview, an interview is still a critical part of the process. How you do at the interview will significantly impact your chances of being offered a job. Good interview preparation reduces the inevitable nerves and anxiety associated with interviews, meaning that you can present yourself in a confident, self-assured and articulate way. Drawing on their experience of interviewing, this interactive webinar will offer a range of tips and skills to help enhance your interview performance, including:

• Structuring answers well and using language that resonates with your audience.

• Developing good examples to answer scenario-based questions.

• Preparing insightful questions to ask yourself.

CoNNECT II, Exploring Story: Chaplaincy - Reflection - Research

Exploring Story: Chaplaincy - Reflection - Research,

with input from Andrew Todd

Lumen United Reformed Church & Community Centre, URC London

Thursday, Mar 12 from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm

An opportunity to connect and network, with a particular focus around the use of case studies.

As with the first CoNNECT day, we are looking to bring together practitioners, educators, researchers, and those involved in supporting, developing, and providing chaplaincy and pastoral care across different contexts. The day is aimed at all those who are interested in understanding chaplaincy, developing practice across different contexts, and supporting chaplains through participatory research.

Chaplaincy is at heart relational. The day will share details of a Case Study project from the Netherlands and the idea of ‘living human encounters’ which emerged from it. As a way of connecting our stories, there will be an opportunity to share and reflect on pastoral encounters, offering a taste of case study research.

The final part of the day will be an optional session for those who would be interested in forming a steering group to develop ideas for a Case Study project and a potential pilot research community within that.

Alongside Sarah Lane Cawte, Mark Newitt and Bob Wilson, we are delighted that Andrew Todd will help us facilitate the day. Andrew is Director of the Professional Doctorate in Practical Theology and Senior Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University and the Cambridge Theological Federation. Andrew brings a wealth of experience, having previously coordinated the Centre for Contemporary Spirituality at Sarum College and, prior to that, he set up and ran the Cardiff Centre for Chaplaincy Studies. Andrew is a practical theologian and ethnographer who has researched and published on chaplaincy and related issues in religion and public life.
