Year 13 students recently took part in a Mock Interview Day as part of the school’s careers programme, giving them a valuable opportunity to practise their interview skills and prepare for their next steps beyond school.
The experience helped students develop confidence, communication skills and professionalism in a real interview setting. For some students, this was their very first experience of an interview, making the day particularly beneficial in helping to reduce nerves and build self-belief.
Employers who volunteered their time were extremely impressed with the students’ performance. Feedback included comments such as, “They are so much more confident than I would have been at that age,” and “The students were highly prepared and came across very well in the interview.”
Mock interview days like this play an important role in ensuring students are well prepared for future interviews for apprenticeships, employment or university, and form a key part of our ongoing careers education programme.
