Six of our members volunteered to take part in Mock interviews with the students.
The year 10 students are asked to come to school dressed as they would for a job interview and they would then be interviewed by us.
Each room was allocated to two of us and we would then interview the students who were allocated to each interview room.
We had a list of questions and were to fill in a form to let the Students Careers officer Mrs James, know how well we thought each student had performed in the interview and what if anything needed to be improved on.
This is to help the students be prepared and ready for REAL interviews.
This was a great success again this year and 60 to 80 Students were interviewed.
This gives the student some experience with being interviewed by strangers, and our feed back to them is always well received.
This year our interview teams were.
John and Joan Vaughan,
Judi and John Edgington,
Peter Mumford and Lori Morris
The Lakes Grammer school looked after this group by picking them up by taxi and delivering them home by taxi.
They provided morning tea and a light lunch and also gave each interviewer a nice bottle of wine as a thank you gift.
The students from this school are always very impressive and those of us who attended these Mock interviews again this year all feel the future is in good hands with such great young people coming along.
Thank you to all those who gave up their time and attended, well done everyone.......
