Mock Interview Day a great benefit for pupils

Students at Queen’s Park High School in Chester recently gained some crucial experience and key employability skills as they took part in a mock interview day with sponsors of the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce’s Young Chamber programme.

12 business professionals from five Young Chamber Sponsors helped make the day a great success as students from both Years 11 & 13 took part in a mock interview to help prepare them for when they leave school, whether it be to College, Sixth Form, University or straight into employment. The aim of the mock interviews was to allow the students to gain experience and to learn some of the crucial skills needed for a successful interview.

Andrea Watts, Careers & Citizenship lead at Queen’s Park High, commented about the event: “We were thrilled to welcome Young Chamber sponsors from a wide range of organisations to conduct mock interviews with our Year 11 and 13 students. It was wonderful to see so many of our students smartly dressed and ready to engage in professional dialogue.

“The feedback from employers was fantastic and this valuable mock interview experience ensures our students are prepared for future interviews.”
