Worthing High School - The Big Interview!
As a school Worthing High School is keen to be very pro-active with face-to-face events involving local businesses as these are a vital part of our student’s ongoing development and character building, particularly in preparation for their next steps as they progress onto further education and future employment.
One of the main events in the school calendar is our very successful annual ‘Big Interview’ event and this is being held on Wednesday 8th February at Worthing High School. Timings for this are from 9am-1.30pm.
We are pro-actively looking for volunteers to be interviewers and was hoping that this may be something that you would be kind enough to consider supporting and being involved in?
The ‘Big Interview’ enables each of our Year 10 students to receive a 10-minute interview from one of the local volunteer business partners on the day. The interview is not planned for a specific job, but to prepare students for what general questions they may be presented with in either future job interviews or at upcoming college and/or further education interviews.
Volunteers do not have to have experience of holding interviews as this will be more of a two-way conversation approach and that this exercise will provide students with useful feedback on body language, question & answer techniques as well as giving them direct experience of a 1:1 interview with a person from outside of the school environment. We will of course provide further information both prior to and on the day to all businesses kind enough to support.
We will be providing light refreshments for all our willing interviewers and would really appreciate your invaluable support for one of Worthing High School’s future pathways linked activities.
We can never have too many people for an event such as this and if you have any colleagues within your business or other contacts that would also be prepared to attend, please can you let me know and I will be more than happy to add them to the list of volunteers.
The event always provides our business partners with the opportunity to network with other local companies as well as within the school.
If you are able to commit some of your valuable time to this event or you have any questions please email MFisher@worthinghigh.net
