S4 Mock Interviews

Once again the annual Mock Interview programme was a tremendous success with 18 S4 pupils participating in real life interview situations alongside pupils from neighbouring Cumnock and Auchinleck Academies. The 18 pupils were selected via an application process and received interviews from employers representing a variety of local businesses, including Mark Gibson from Craigengillan Estate. The pupils were also subject to Psychometric Testing and received a valuable presentation on ‘Interview Skills’. This experience has enriched the pupils understanding of the stresses and rigours involved in the recruitment process and has helped to equip them with an appreciation of the reality of seeking employment. Thank you to Gillian Cameron at the Ayrshire Chambers for her continued dedication into making this initiative an essential addition to our school calendar.
