Today, I gave them a sheet with some simple interview questions on it based around their dream job e.g. what attracted you to this job, what is your greatest strength, tell me about yourself etc. They then had to take the role of interviewer or interviewee and the interview itself was videoed. Initially they were slightly apprehensive but soon got into the spirit of the lesson. The main focus of the lesson came last when they had to watch each interview back on the screen and write down two things that each interviewee did well and one thing they could work on.
What came out was how observent the group were. They picked up on nervous habits people had like scratching their shoulder or playing with their hair and how that would come across in an interview situation. They were also very positive to each other, identifying people who spoke clearly and who made good eye contact.
Feedback from pupils afterwards was very positive and they all felt it had been a useful activity for them in the future.
