Y10 Mock Interviews
We are really proud of our Y10 students for engaging so well with their mock interviews at the end of April. We were joined by 35 volunteers over two days from a variety of job sectors.
The employer feedback was overwhelmingly positive which is wonderful confirmation of what we already know about the students – we are very proud of them for their preparation, managing their nerves and giving the best possible account of themselves and the school.
Some lovely employer feedback included:
“What a great candidate they would be, I’m struggling to think of areas they could improve! They will certainly present well at a job interview – well done!!” Ged from Resolve.
“Very engaged and engaging, great answers with supporting evidence. Good eye contact and interaction. Well done – excellent interview.” Stuart from Ministry of Justice
“An excellent interviewee! Great eye contact, pleasant manner and had clearly taken the time to prepare for the interview. CV was prepared well, highlighting activities outside of school.” Fiona from SY Police
Many students were nervous before their interview, but they all grew in confidence and the student feedback showed that they found it a really positive event.
Student feedback included:
“It was really helpful having this interview, I now know what I am good at and what I can improve on.”
“I really enjoyed this process, I now feel so much more confident when speaking to people I don’t know.”
“It was a really good representation of what an actual interview would be like and I am grateful for this experience prior to leaving education”
A massive thank you to all our volunteers who make this such a rewarding experience for our students.
