It seems like we think the most important things in life we cannot learn about- like being a parent.......
This may be true but at leat we can try!!!!
A very important thing is getting a job and to reach that goal we often have to get through the process of applying for the job and being called to an interview.
That is what we are going to practice this week.
Here are the instructions:

Interviews
The job interview task gives
you the opportunity to speak English in a more formal setting. Start off by
getting into a group of three to four students (3-4) To prepare for it you will
need to do the following:
1.
Write your CV-a
good resource which is simple is:

3.
Click on Mock Job
Interviews
4.
Choose a job and
prepare your interview (see the general instructions on the above website.
5.
Write a brief
covering letter explaining that you have seen the advertisement for the post
of…(your chosen area) and you would like to be considered for the job.
6.
Talk to the other
people in your group and give them a copy of your interview questions.
7.
Check through the
general questions you may be asked at a job interview.
8.
Think about the way
you will be dressed ( we will not dress up for this interview)
9.

body language, your confidence and your eye contact.
10.
Practise!
11.
You are now ready
to do your interview.
Results of the interview
- The student interviewers and myself will decide if you should be
called back for a second interview or get the job or be thanked for your
interest in the post. This is a subjective judgement and not to be taken
too seriously!
ON Friday we will do the actual interviews in your small groups.
You will have about 20-25 minutes per interview.
I will try to get around to as many as possible.
The interview will NOT be graded.
However, the CV/covering letter will be given a pass/non-pass grade
