Mock Interview Program 2019

On Wednesday 3rd April year 10 students participated in the Mock Interview Program. This is an invaluable program that provides students with the opportunity to practice job application skills that they will need throughout their career journey. Students were asked to select a job they wanted to apply for from a list provided to them in their Futures class. They then prepared their cover letter and resume according to the job they selected. In addition, they received training on interview skills and how to answer ‘behavioral based questions.

Although there were some nervous students, overall it was fantastic seeing such mature and well prepared students coming in for their interviews and then leaving with a smile on their face. The program commenced at 9.15am and concluded at 11.30am with over 100 interviews taking place! The positive feedback provided by our interviewers on student’s performances was very encouraging. I congratulate all students for doing an amazing job and representing themselves in a professional and positive manner.

This program would not have been possible without the help of our volunteer interviewers who included – Helen Goltsios, Jenny Phillips, Sharon Morris, Leah Cunningham, Gosia Zastawnik, Sarah-Jane Gason, Tracey Teunissen, members from our local Rotary Club in Glen Waverley – Chris George, Michelle Oscar, Don Kerley and members from our local Lions Club of Wheelers Hill – Roger Budd, Denis Carruthers, Sam Koutsampasis, Aurore Pont. We thank them for their time and appreciate the support they provided our students.

I would also like to thank Khairi Razaai, the Futures Domain Leader and Diane Trevor our Teacher’s Administrative Assistance, for providing their support leading up to the program and during the day which helped ensure the smooth running of this event.
