What are employers looking for in an interview?
Punctuality- find out where the interview is and plan your
journey. Aim to arrive at least 10 minutes before the interview
time.
Smart dress- decide what you want to wear and get it ready
the day before. Aim for a clean, neat and tidy appearance.
Confidence- practice entering the room, looking the interviewer
in the eye, shaking hands and introducing yourself.
Knowledge of company and role you are applying for-
research the company by either ringing and asking for
information or by looking on their website.
Interest and enthusiasm- ask questions about the company/
organisation and show that you are passionate about the role
you are applying for.
Ability to answer questions- prepare for the types of questions
that you might be asked.

A big thanks to all the Careers Team, and
teaching staff, not forgetting our very willing
sixth formers that have contributed to make,
what we hope will be, a very successful
evening.
The School would like to thank all our
participants, for giving up their time to represent
the many different career areas offered tonight.
It makes a big difference to our students and
their decision making.
Without the support of the above, this event
would not have been possible.
Head of Careers and Work Experience and Careers
Work Related Learning Coordinator
Thank You
