Mention that you know what dementia is about......after the fact that one nurse admitted to a relation of a patient that he/she had no idea what it was and would have to "Google" it when they got home......

Keep yourself calm and listen to the questions - it's just like any job interview and try and relax....be honest and don't bullsh-t if you do not know.

When I was applying for teaching jobs and not having much luck I was told to include an executive summary with my application; this is basically a summary of how you meet all the aspects of the person specification; I used Word to set up a table with two columns; one for "Your Requirements" and another for "My Experience". Each part of the person spec then had a row and I copied and posted each one into the "Your Requirements" section then showed how I met these with one or two lines for each in the "My Experience" column
Just as an example one of the bullet points on the person spec was "Up-to-date knowledge and views on curriculum development, including the requirements for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), nursery." so I put "Received ‘First Class’ degree in Early Years Education.
Majority of experience has been delivering the EYFS curriculum."
For the one application I got to use this on I got an interview and got the job!
