FAQ

General Q's

What's FLUX? and what's XING?! I'm confused...

FLUX is the name of the competition – we chose this because the competition bonds all the elements of your education together with all the skills and knowledge you will need to succeed in the workplace – whatever you choose to do.

Xing is one of the training tools developed by Working Knowledge (http://www.twkg.net/xing-site). 'Xing' is derived from 'Cross(X)-ing' because the tool helps you bridge the gap between the reality of where your business is now to the ultimate goal you wish to reach.

By happy coincidence Xing in Mandarin can mean to 'travel', 'to go' or 'journey' or with another intonation 'thrive', 'prosper' or 'flourish'.

Where does the £500 prize money come in?

At the Grand Final there is £500 for each member of the 6-person winning team.

Why do I have to register?

What's a Champion?

A Champion is the person at your uni that is coordinating FLUX for you. They help to choose the team that goes to the Final and make sure you get there!

When do I need to apply by?

Now! But at least by 23^rd November 2009!

If I don't have a Champion does that mean we can't have a team competing?

You can compete without a Champion but we will need the name of the Student Team Captain whom will be responsible for their team. So if you want to take part, get a team of 6 together and then get in touch.

Who else is on the team?

It will be you and 5 other students from various courses at your university, but you'll all have things in common: A desire to represent your uni… An interest in investing in your future... And that you're all at the same uni... And that you are all more employable after FLUX... And you probably have the same T-shirt on or something...

Why can't I be in a team with my mates?

You can! Canvass your Champion to let them know you would make the best team. Suggest to your Champion they hold an Inter-university competition with all the applicants so you can prove you are the best!

Will I get to meet my team-mates before the event?

Yep, that can be arranged. Just speak with your Champion.

Website Q's

I can't register! What's going on?

Don't panic! If you haven't received a confirmation email with a validation link, it might be because your email was wrong, or that your uni is filtering messages it thinks are spam. If possible, sign up with an account that has a "safe list" such as Hotmail, or Google, and add the "flux@twkg.net" address to your safe senders list. If this isn't possible, let us know on the email address below and we'll get you sorted out.
