Mock Interview Success

  The S4 Mock Interview Programme, held at the Aviator Suite Prestwick Airport, was a tremendous success with 54 pupils from Doon, Cumnock and Auchinleck Academies selected for interview from an initial application process. Altogether 6 employers were represented: NHS, Barr Ltd, Craigengillan Estate, RAF, Play Scheme and ASDA. 3 pupils from each school were in direct competition for each post. As well as the interviews pupils received a very informative lecture on interview behaviour skills as well as psychometric testing and a tutorial on the new world of work website.

Out of the 6 posts Doon academy had success in 4. Congratulations to Frazer Buchanan – NHS Healthcare, Jordan Berretti – Craigengillan Administration, Michael Harvey – ASDAand Paige McMahon – Happydays Playscheme.

Well done to all the pupils who took part. Also thank you to Gillian Cameron at Ayrshire Chambers and all of the employers who gave up their valuable time to take part in the programme.
