My friend had their interview for Business with music and instrument technology today.
They were very upset with the quality of the interview.
There was two women interviewing them.
They asked them 4 questions in total and the interview lasted 5 mins.
They didn't get a chance to sell themselves at all. There was no one representing the music side of the course present.
When they mentioned on their application that they used DJ equipment to mix music, one of the interviewers said that the course didn't touch on "dance music" and that dj's generally drop out.
Thought this was very unfair as my friend said they didn't want the course for this reason but they didn't seem to listen.
Seemed very condescending

Anyone heading off to AIT interviews -Business. To say they are informal is an understatement. They hadn't read anything I had sent in, nothing about my courses, leaving cert, businesses etc. It was 5 minutes long, I imagine because I was waiting with about 10 other people.
One of the interviewers suggested that because I haven't done accounting in secondary school (but do the accounts for my business) I might be better starting in a level 6 course first instead of level 8 - which I found a bit insulting... :mad: I didn't realise they had no background on me until they were letting me leave and as an exiting question they asked if I had done a Leaving Certificate at all
- and I've well over 400 points; and I sent in a CV and personal statement.
So anyone heading in, really labour your experience and background as they didn't seem to have any idea about me.
I hope I get a DIT interview now!! :eek:0 -

No, don't think so Christmon - prob someone different. She was prob 30s and fairly short. She seemed ok; asked the questions and when the other guy started telling me to take off my Level 8 choices in the Change of Mind forms and just have Level 6, she interrupted him to tell him he wasn't exactly right. He was a lot older late 50s, said nothing initially and then prattled on for the remainder of my 5 minute interview!
Ha! I don't think I've cooled down at all since this morning!

My friends was in AIT aswell, very pissed off there was no one there from music side of the course present.
Best of luck with it, hope you get good news :cool:
Have mine in the morning in AIT aswell, not expecting much after reading yours!0 -
Also had an interview in AIT the other day. This being my first college interview i wasnt sure what to expect but 5 minutes long with 4 questions asked of me ( 2 of them asking if I had any questions) was not what i had in mind. Three people went in before me and all where in the room for a similar amount of time. Very angry and anoyed still. Interviewer was beyond rude and even sugested people with similar interests to me usually drop out in the first year! Unbelievable :mad: 0

Its so disappointing after preparing! I do think its worth complaining over... maybe if we get good news we'll feel a little better though. Terrible that its one of the first points of contact with the college and they deal with potential students so poorly.Also had an interview in AIT the other day.
