Yesterday was the introduction to the mock interview programme. All pupils in S4 who attend PSE on a Thursday started to complete their application for a catering post. The form will be completed next week after the RE prelim and the following week (Thursday 22nd January), the pupils will be interviewed in school.

All the material for the interviews including the questions are on GLOW. To access this, go to the Home Page and Guidance and under each of the four houses, the information sheets are there. Parents and friends, in fact anyone who is in a job, can provide valuable insight into the minefield that is “being interviewed.”

Following these internal interviews, the pupils will be able to take part in the Kilmarnock District Interviews along with pupils from James Hamilton and Grange Academies.

Local businesses give their time and expertise to give our youngsters a chance to get their foot on the bottom rung in the employment stakes. In these wider interviews, only pupils who produce the best applications (six pupils per job) will be interviewed.

It is absolutely crucial that our pupils listen to advice and do their best when making application for both the internal and external jobs. Please give them your advice and encouragement.
