Interview and Assessment Skills Event On Tuesday students in Years 12 and 13 took part in an interview and assessment skills event as part of Channing’s Careers Education Programme. They began with an informative introductory talk about preparing for job interviews from Caitlin Ellis of InvestIn Education, an immersive careers experience provider. Miss Ellis recommended using the STARR technique when answering competency-based questions and demonstrated adaptability herself when the projector suddenly lost focus and could not be remedied! Her talk was followed by a contribution from parent Dr Christel Fourie, a consultant organisational psychologist, about how organisations recruit and the attitudes young people need to adopt to be successful. The Sixth Formers then completed a carousel of activities including practising aptitude tests, preparing for telephone interviews, participating and being observed completing a group activity and being interviewed for a job by a parent interviewer. Many thanks to all parents who volunteered their time and expertise - our Sixth Formers are very grateful.
