Northcote High School
Real Industry Job Interviews (RIJI)
On Tuesday 27 October, our Year 10 students participated in the culmination of the RIJI Program.
Throughout the year, as part of the Careers curriculum, Year 10 students have completed the RIJI Enrichment. In the Enrichment lessons, they learned how to search for appropriate jobs and then how to write a Cover Letter and Resume.
These documents were then used by a team of RIJI volunteers who came to NHS to allow students to participate in a mock job interview for the position they had prepared for. Although students were nervous to begin with, they commented on how much they enjoyed the experience and how helpful the volunteers were in the feedback they provided on both interview presentation and written application.
We hope our Yr 10s can use this feedback to improve their confidence and skills as they begin to enter the workforce. Sincere thanks must go to all volunteers who support the RIJI program and our students, by taking a day our of their schedules to provide such a wonderful experience for our Yr 10s.
