    Could anybody fill me in on any tips for my Springboard interview. The email i got asked for a copy of my C.V. which is grand. But i can't seem to find my piece of paper or diploma as i think it's called which i was asked to bring. Also asked for references although i done Finance i can't really give a Finance reference. I done a few months on TUS but left because i was only making tea all day so their reference wouldn't be great. So i don't really want to mention this in the interview. My other job was last year part time in retail which i don't know if getting a reference would be useful. Also did anybody where a suit or anything for the interview. It seems maybe the course is not as easy to get on as i thought.

    I would wear a suit, or at least smart trousers and shirt.
    It important to have your transcript / diploma. If it is lost, contact your old college and ask for a copy. There may be a cost for this, but you are sure to need it again. I think a reference from your retail job would be useful.
    good luck 😊

    Found the dilpoma's thank god at least that's sorted. I tried to get a reference but the employee i spoke too said the owners are away for the week. I am going to bring along the phone number of a builder i worked for.

    Should i bother mentioning that i walked out of a TUS job to work for a wage in retail or should i just leave it out?

    They may already know about the TUS placement, so dont lie about it, if you left it for a paid job, thats a perfectly good reason.
