Mock Interview Day Years 11 and 12 tomorrow 26/02

25th February 2019Mrs M Delage-Martin

Tomorrow from period 1-4  you will be involved in a 20 minutes mock interview with representatives from a variety of local and national employers. You should have been given a booklet by your tutor with some short activities to complete before the day. Your tutors should also have given you your time slot so you know  when your interview is. We will also email you the rota so keep checking your email. Times will also be displayed in front of MLT and  in Post 16. Interviews will be in the Main Hall but we will meet you first in the Foyer. Make sure you bring your booklet and you make a note of your time. Try and turn up a few minutes before so we can make sure you are fully prepared. This is a great opportunity for you to get experience  in job interviews and last year, the day was a big success. Good luck to you all!
