School to Work Simulation (Mock Job Interview Program)
A call for interviewers

Concordia College and Job Readiness Consultant Janine Donato have partnered together in a Mock Interview Program. The aim of this program is to provide our Year 10 students with a realistic experience of how they would prepare and conduct themselves through an interview process. Students who participate in this Mock Interview Program will have a better awareness of the process and will gain important and relevant skills that can assist them in the future.

We are seeking interviewers who have a desire to share their valuable knowledge and experience with our students. The interviews are set to take place during the day between the hours of 8.30am – 1pm on Tuesday 26 September and Thursday 28 September 2017. 

We will hold a short session for our interviewers on the day of the interviews (Tuesday or Thursday) from 8.30am to 8.50am, to provide you with an ‘interview guide/focus’ to support specific student outcomes.

To register your interest in volunteering as an interviewer for one or both of these dates, or for more information about the mock interview process, contact Janine Donato on 0407 310 215 or janinedonato@live.com.au. Alternatively, for more information you may also contact Robert Gogel (rgogel@concordia.sa.edu).
