Career Pathway Preparation - Thursday 18 Oct, Tuesday 23 Oct, Thursday 25 Oct.
If any Rotarians are interested in providing us with  a full day, part day or two days, please let us know. There are nearly 300 Year 9s, so a bigger group than the Year 10s! The program will run the same as it did for our Year 10 s.
  • 15 minute interviews
  • A row of chairs outside the rooms, numbered to match the interview stations, where the students wait
  • Interviewers have an evaluation sheet ready to go for each student and go out to greet them at the appointment time
  • Students will  have applied for one of 12 jobs (same as our year 10 jobs – list to be provided)
  • Each interviewer will interview between 9 - 12 students each in one day (depending on your available times), for various job roles;     
  • Interviewers will ask the students four questions;
    1.       Tell us about yourself
    2.       What do you see as your best employability skills (ie; Why should we hire you)?
    3.       Describe a time when you have had to handle a difficult situation, customer or work colleague in the past.
    4.       What are three positives a past employer or a teacher would say about you?
  • Times ; Between 8.30 am and 2.40 pm - whenever suits the interviewer
  • Interviewers will provide them with some feedback after the final question and give them some insight into how they could improve their responses, body language and preparation for future interviews. (Students will have had some preparation for these interviews in class time).
  • An evaluation sheet is attached, which has the key things we  give a mark out of 5 for and a comment  section for feedback to the student.
  • You will interview on your own unfortunately as it is very difficult to get staff involved due to their teaching loads
  • Thank you all for your consideration of volunteering to be an interviewer in our Year 9 Mock Interview program in October. I appreciate it is very close to your massive commitment to the Festival in November. Felicia Pellegrino will be managing this event and will be in touch with you once you have indicted to her your availability.  Contact Debra Dunn B: 9438 8687 or main office 9438 8500
