Candidate Pool Drop-In Sessions

The Scholar team are offering Saltire Scholar Candidates the opportunity to attend a short group drop-in session. This will be an ideal opportunity for you to ask the Scholar team any questions you have about the 2022 Saltire Scholar Programme, what to expect from being a Saltire Scholar Candidate or general guidance about submitting an internship application.

We trialled similar 1-2-1 sessions during the initial recruitment phase, and the majority of attendees have ended up making it through to this Candidate Pool stage – so please do make the most of this development opportunity as it could make all the difference for your future applications.

Please note, as the Scholar team shortlist applications, they will not be able to provide specific support regarding your CV or Cover Letter. i.e:

  1. you cannot ask the team to help you write your CV or Cover Letter*
  2. you cannot ask the team to review your CV or Cover Letter*
  3. you cannot ask for clarification on feedback provided by the Scholar team on your previous internship applications

*If you need support regarding bullet points 1 and 2, please make an appointment with your university’s Careers Services.

**If you need clarification regarding bullet point 3, please email the Scholar team directly.

As a lot of the queries we receive at this stage follow similar trends, these drop-in sessions will be held in small groups (max’ of 3 candidates per session). If there is a query you wish to discuss privately, you can email the Scholar team.

This is a trial initiative so only a limited amount of appointments will be made available. Dependent on demand and feedback, further appointments may be issued and candidates will be notified of this.
