Help please. Had an awful meeting with sw's yesterday. They called us into their office rather than meeting us at home, they said they feel like they don't know us, we are on visit 6 and we thought everything was going great. However, SW has been chatting to her manager about our case and it seems on paper we look great but in their opinion we show no emotion and they feel like they don't know us, they feel there is a barrier (but when we questioned the barrier) they couldn't actually tell us what it was?!?!
We said we didn't agree and we had given our all, answering fully and giving examples etc... And they agreed!! But also said it wasn't enough what do they want from us?!?!
They want us to have our individual sessions again and be interviewed and video taped at their office I don't want to do it and feel it is unnecessary. They agreed on paper we are great candidates but felt we were rehearsed and our answers were too perfect!! The want us to relax more, which we pointed out is hard with 2 strangers in our living room, grilling us about our life!
Anyone have any experience of SW wanting to see more emotion?
