Interview clothes
We remind you to have your interview clothes always available in Waterford so that you are available for interview at short notice. We try to give as much notice as possible but sometimes this is not possible.
CVs and Response Forms
We still do not have all your CVs - we cannot get you a placement position without having your CV and your Response Form. Get them in to us at bbsplacement@wit.ie
Check e-mails and Website
Again we remind you to check your e-mail at least twice daily and check the website regularly in case e-mails are not getting through to you. We are sending e-mails to your WIT e-mail address only, which is this format: student_no@mail.wit.ie
There are many students that have not confirmed which flexible term option they want for the next semester. In addition, some students have not registered yet and, therefore, cannot participate in any flexible semester option. We will put the names of these students on a list on the door of the Flexible Semester Office at D18 to remind them that they should have decided by now which option they wish to take. If it is work placement, we need a signed Student Response Form and CV from them immediately.
