Inter­views in Progress

Tomor­row morn­ing I’m tak­ing part in some ‘Mock Inter­views’ which form part of an ‘Industry Day’ at a local high school; the Appleton Academy, in Bradford.

The whole idea is to help these kids get some real exper­i­ence of job inter­view situ­ations by expos­ing them to some of the poten­tial ques­tions and feed­back from real employ­ers (as opposed to teach­ers) such as myself and a few other rep­res­ent­at­ives from local com­pan­ies. In doing so the stu­dents will hope­fully gain an under­stand­ing of real-world inter­views before they’re unleashed into the world of unfor­giv­ing world of employment.

A good idea in my book and some­thing that I wish I’d have been privy to in the early 80’s when was just about to leave school.

Com­ing from a wide range of sec­tors, there’s a whole group of employ­ers tak­ing part in the day. I’m cov­er­ing the “digital sec­tor” and will be inter­view­ing stu­dents who want to work in the web devel­op­ment, IT, gam­ing and the design industries.

Hav­ing worked in and recruited people from within these dis­cip­lines in the past (apart from the ‘gam­ing’ aspect); I can safely say that I am well placed to fill the role of inter­viewer and have pre­pared some good inter­view ques­tions for these kids.

I just hope they’ll be gentle with me in return!

Wish me luck.
