Interviews aren’t a memory test.

It’s something we say in our workshops and it genuinely surprises people every time.

You’re allowed to bring notes. Your CV. The job description. A list of questions you want to ask. Most candidates don’t realise this, and knowing it changes how prepared and calm you feel walking in.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced data, MIS, or IT professional exploring a move into education, the same rule applies.

Preparation isn’t cheating. It’s just good sense.

We asked Kristen the one thing she wishes she’d known before leaving school. 👇

Spoiler: you don’t need to walk into university knowing anyone.

The worry about making friends, navigating a new city, starting a new course - it’s a lot. But as Kristen puts it, everyone’s in the same situation. Being open and putting yourself out there makes more of a difference than who you already know.

If you’re finishing school and wondering what comes next - you’re not alone in feeling that way.

More honest chats with real students coming soon. 👀

What’s a career in education that students have literally never heard of?

Dan’s answer: MIS Manager.

And honestly? He’d never heard of one either before joining WeDoData.

MIS Managers oversee all data in a college - student records, financial data, funding returns. They’re the people making sure colleges get every penny of funding they’re entitled to. Without them? That money doesn’t come in.

It’s one of those roles that keeps an institution running, and almost no one outside the sector knows it exists.

We specialise in placing exactly these kinds of professionals — MIS, IT, Data, Finance, Exams - into schools, MATs and FE colleges across England.

If you’re in one of these roles and thinking about a move, or if your college has a gap you can’t seem to fill - let’s have a conversation.

We asked sixth form students one word to describe their experience.

Unforgettable. Intense. Hard. Fun.

No single story. No universal truth. Just real people at a genuinely defining moment - navigating exams, pressure, and the version of themselves they’re still figuring out.

At WeDoData, we work with the people who keep schools and colleges running behind the scenes. And part of doing that well means actually understanding what school life feels like - not the polished prospectus version, but the real one.

If you work in education, this is worth a watch. And if you’re heading into final term right now - you’ve got this.

What would you tell your 16-year-old self about your career?

We put the question to Chels - and her answer is worth a watch.

There’s something about working in education that shifts your perspective. The roles mean something different. And for a lot of people, it’s where they actually want to be.

If you’re in IT, MIS, Data, Finance or Exams and you’ve been thinking about a move into schools - we’re actively briefing roles right now for September.

No hard sell. Just a conversation.

“Grades don’t really define you.”

We were on the streets of Bristol asking the public what they wish they’d known when leaving school. Tommy’s answer hits different.

He’s an animator now. Film studies, creative writing, art - all of it was practice for what he actually wanted to do. But here’s what stuck with him: it wasn’t the grades. It was the pressure.

“The pressure of expectation is actually really the worst thing.”

If you’re sitting exams right now, this one’s for you. If you’re hiring in schools, this matters too. Because the people who thrive in your teams are the ones who’ve learned to do the work they actually care about, not chase someone else’s expectation.

That’s who we place. People who know what they want and aren’t defined by a single result.

We’re WeDoData. We hire IT, Data, MIS, Finance and Exams professionals into schools, MATs and FE colleges.

If you’re in one of those roles, or hiring for them, get in touch.

Fresh air, dog walks, and a round of golf. Dan’s recipe for switching off. đŸ¶â›ł

We’re big believers that the people behind the work matter just as much as the work itself. Dan loves exploring what’s on the doorstep here in Bristol - from the Cotswolds to the Mendips - and he’ll tell you it does wonders for the mind.

Looking after yourself outside of work isn’t a luxury. It’s what makes you better at everything inside it.

We’re a small team that puts people first - candidates, clients, and each other. If that sounds like the kind of agency you’d want in your corner, let’s have a chat.

Most job descriptions for Exams Officer roles capture about 40% of the actual job.

The other 60%? It looks completely different depending on when in the year you're reading it.

We see schools and colleges post Exams Officer roles in February using a January job spec - and then wonder why the people they hired don't make it past July.

This carousel breaks down what the role actually involves across the full year - in-season vs out-of-season - covering responsibilities, stakeholders, systems, hours, and what burnout tends to look like in each phase.

The short version: if you want to hire someone who's still with you next May, write the July version of the job spec. Not the January one.

If you're hiring for an Exams Officer role in your college or school, we're happy to have a conversation about what the role really looks like across the year - not just the version you're currently hiring against.

No hard sell. Just honest, straight-talking recruitment.

👇 Have a look through the carousel and let us know what you think in the comments.
