Event description
Mock Interviews
Following Year 10 work experience, we are conducting mock interviews but not in the traditional format. We will be doing this in a 'speed dating' format where students will speak to 3-5 employers over an hour and get used to talking about themselves, their skills, etc. They will speak with each professional for about 10-15 minutes and get a little feedback before moving on to the next. The sessions would be either all day, AM only (8.45am-12.10pm) or PM only (12.45pm-3.00pm). For this to be successful, we need between 20-30 professionals per session.
If you are unable to help at this event but would be willing to support other events or work with us in subject areas or through assemblies/one off talks, please do get in touch as we are always aiming to increase engagement with professionals.
