Alice<\/strong>, from Northumberland Wildlife Trust: “Helen, I’ve had a couple of applications from your students whom I couldn’t interview because they didn’t seem to know how to fill in an application form. Please can I come and talk to them?”
Me<\/strong>: “yes please! Covid year – we did have a session on app forms but it is not the same as when you guys come and meet students”
Theo <\/strong>(former student, Plymouth Council): “Helen the careers event you put on when I was a student was brilliant; it was so helpful for me. Please can I come and talk to your current students?”
Me<\/strong>: “definitely”
Alice<\/strong>: “I’ve got a couple of friends would like to come – ecological consultancy, and greening officer”
Me<\/strong>: “yes – and Georgie, former student, from Defra is also coming”
So:
– Alice passed on valuable tips and tricks regarding how to fill in an application form
– Georgie talked about competency questions
– we had Speed Interviews – 2mins to answer a Q, 2mins for feedback (a bit reminiscent of musical chairs)
– and CV cover letter workshops – where students showed the employers their cover letter examples
– the buzz is evident I hope from the picture of the speed interviews below<\/p>\n\n\n\n
