A Manifesto On Good Viva Prep
This isn’t finished, but here are some thoughts that I’ve been knitting together for a long time…
Good viva prep is personal. It responds to the needs of a candidate.
Good viva prep is effective. It takes only the time needed and meets the needs of a candidate.
Good viva prep is planned in advance. A candidate’s time is valuable and stress and rush can only hinder readiness.
Good viva prep creates greater certainty. It improves understanding of the general experience of the viva and gives greater confidence in being ready for the viva.
Good viva prep is supported by others. This happens in big and small ways, because while getting ready is the candidate’s responsibility it will be better with help.
And good viva prep is only as good as a candidate makes it – so make yours good!
