This is an old video from years ago. The mock interview will still be helpful for preparing for a panel interview, but it's weird for me to look back at this as my work has evolved a long way. I still stand by recording your answers and watching the footage back, this is incredibly helpful.
Really good interview courses and one to one sessions are available on midwifediaries.com

These were very similar questions I got asked last year and got stuck because my mind just went blank, this is so helpful. I have 5 university interviews in the coming weeks, one in two days. I will be using this 3 times a day to help my confidence and answer a lot better too. :)

That was phenomenally helpful. Thank you so much. Questions that I thought I knew a clear answer to, I didn't! Its given me a lot of pointers of things to read up on and clarify in my mind. Really appreciate this.

It’s crazy how your mind goes blank even though you know the answers! Thanks so much for the practice, I’m going to keep going over this until my answers flow easily without the mind blank moments 🤣 I keep hearing about “your book” so I’m off to google what it’s actually called and where I can buy it. Thank you again your videos are incredibly helpful and inspiring. ❤️

Wow, you hear the question and think its straight forward and then my brain just stops working :'D Thank You so much for this, it will seriously help me in the future because im gonna have to develop some sorta script to remember everything I would want to say correctly Its cheeky, but could you do a video of good answers to some of those? Sound like cheating I know but what I mean is even if I think something I may not think its ok to say it, or there may be something really obvious people might miss
@EllieDurantMidwifeDiaries
@EllieDurantMidwifeDiaries 9 лет назад
StampsOnSnails Hi,I haven't got a video on these answers (because it'd be a really long video, as any answers need lot of guidance on how to come up with a response that applies to your circumstance), but there's loads of good support to be found over on MidwifeDiaries.com, why not start with this free interview training: midwifediaries.com/essential-midwifery-interview-questions/ Also, my book has over 50 interview questions and sample answers, I've tried to write a book that I would have loved back when I was applying, you can find it here: @1502591782 It's a lot easier for me to give this kind of support in written form and it takes me a long time to put this kind of material together, hence why it's in my book at this point :)

Diamond A - I can't seem to reply directly to you, but in answer: I absolutely do have some book recommendations for you: Anything by Michel Odent is a really good bet. I always liked the Labour and Birth Handbook, and Soo Downe's Normal Childbirth: Evidence and Debate is worth your time too. Google books is a great way of reading without having to spend. This post might help for more academic resources online: midwifediaries.com/favourite-academic-resources/ Virginia Howes' book on being an Independent Midwife, a lighter read but still very useful info: www.amazon.com/The-Babys-Coming-Dedication-Independent/dp/1472211731 Sheena Bryom's book on challenges in modern NHS midwifery care: www.pinterandmartin.com/the-roar-behind-the-silence.html Michel Odent's new book 'Do We Need Midwives?' www.amazon.co.uk/Do-Need-Midwives-Michel-Odent-ebook/dp/B00Y5OSWWA/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1434209823&sr=1-2&keywords=michel+odent Hope this helps!

Hi Ellie my name is Maira and I'm from Greece. I wanted as a child to become a midwife because I thought its like participating in a miracle two or more times a day. So now that I'm at the age of seventeen Im excited about my new beginning but I would like to ask you. I will study midwifery at Greece because my parents can't afford study in somewhere else but is something I could do after my studies here in Britain? I also find you very inspiring and I've watched all your videos (you're beautiful too) !!☺❤

@ITZ_MOWEE
@ITZ_MOWEE 9 лет назад
hi Ellie, The last question "What kind of event would you expect to see during a normal birth"? i'm struggling with. What sort of answer would you be looking for? Describing the birthing process? a relaxed atmosphere? As i dont think there is such a thing as a normal birth as each one is unique and you never know how things are going to turn out so im unsure how i would answer this. thanks for your advise
@EllieDurantMidwifeDiaries
@EllieDurantMidwifeDiaries 9 лет назад
Souls Ultimatum HD Hi, the question is quite an open ended one as to a certain extent there is no 'correct' answer. As there is as you say no 'standard' normal birth. All the things you mentioned would be good to discuss. Really just take the question as an opportunity, a starting point for a discussion of birth, what's considered normal in our society (for example, is an epidural normal? what about an episiotomy? or forceps? what if the women truly believed she had a normal birth though she needed forceps to assist her - what would you say, as midwives' role in part is to promote normality?) It's just a starting point for you to showcase your knowledge around medicalisation and natural birth support. Hope this helps a bit!

Souls Ultimatum HD I've only attended TWO births.....both would NOT be considered normal. 1st birth 50+ hour first stage, only 30 min pushing. All in hospital. 2nd birth was at a home. Lasted only 7-8 hours total. Mother started speaking in Hebrew tongues as the baby crowned. Doula caught the baby since doctor came late. Normal is boring.

You need to be genuine to be a carer. My advice is try and work on these to the best of your ability. Think about what you can bring to the course and profession.
