Year 10's Refine their Interview Techniques

As part of our employer engagement programme, two dozen employers from organisations such as CitiGroup and The Department for Exiting the EU, were warmly welcomed to Hatch End High on Thursday, 15^th March. Their task? To give advice and practise interview techniques with all our Year 10 students.

We were also fortunate to have some of our alumni present to assist with the process and this was a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience what it’s like to be interviewed for a ‘potential’ job vacancy. They were able review their performance and gain valuable feedback from their interviewer.

The atmosphere, on an extremely dull and dreary morning, was positive and bubbly.  The students wisely took the opportunity to learn and also enjoy the experience, and feedback from the employers was excellent. One commented that, “It was a privilege to have been a part of it.”

Many thanks to Ms Akbulut for her usual superb organisation of this event, which makes an extremely positive impact on students, giving them vital skills and ensures career success in the future.
