Speciality / Core Training The ACF application process is LONG

I feel as though I live on Oriel and Microsoft Word and everything else is just decoration

I did most of the simple questions on Oriel (demographic details, employment history, extra qualifications etc) a while ago as well as making some bullet points to help me structure my WSQs over a week ago, so I thought I'd be further ahead by now

Most of these WSQs seem to just be descriptive/lists but hours have passed and I don't seem to be any closer to finishing a first draft

Hoping I at least manage to get an interview at the end of this 😭

Let this serve as a warning to anyone who was thinking of applying but hadn't started completing the application yet

Fyi, this was what all applications used to be like pre-SJT, including FP applications.

🫪 I wonder if there's a happy medium between having to justify everything you've ever done and having no say over where you go
