How will the 'Career WorkOut & Mock Interview' session run?
You’ll join other work guests as follows:
-
In the first half hour, you'll answer questions from small groups of 2-4 students in a carousel of 5-6 minute interviews, a bit like speed-networking! They’ll ask you open questions about your job, especially about your experiences of interviews, how you got it and what it’s like for you. When the time is up the students move to the next guest, and so on until the end of the session. For more information about this Career WorkOut carousel, click here.
-
In the second half hour, you'll chair a series of four mini interview panels, each including 2-3 students, interviewing a different student each time for 5-6 minutes. Your interview panel will be provided with a list of set questions. Your responsibility will be to bring the mini interview to a conclusion on time!
Are there ID or vetting requirements? No, there is no need for ID or vetting because a Worktree facilitator and a school teacher will be present at all times so guests will be supervised. Please ensure that you are never left alone with a student(s).
What can/can't I bring to the event? You don't need to bring anything, just be ready to answer the students' questions honestly. You can bring business cards for networking.
