About the teacher and students
The event was created by John Riddell for 100 students at St Cuthbert's High School aged Age 15 - 15.
Event description
Interviewing the students as if they had applied for a job, and providing feedback to them on their performance.
In these sessions, business leaders hold mock interviews, which are an emulation of a job interview used for training purposes. The exercise usually resembles a real interview as closely as possible, for the purpose of providing a learning experience for students.
Depending on the class size, students can meet with business leaders one-to-one or in small groups within the same classroom or auditorium. The mock interviews can range in the length of time depending on the group size. The key is that the students have a chance to prepare ahead of time and understand this is a great learning opportunity to practice their skills and build their confidence.
