Year 14 Interview Skills Day at Foyle College was a credit to the students and interviewers taking part. Interviewers from Seagate, Fujitsu, Western Trust HR department, Lisnagelvin, Primary School, Bank of Ireland, Grafton recruitment and many other industries conducted mock interviews to help prepare our students for life after Foyle College. Students befitted greatly from the knowledge and experience of the interviewers who were tailored to suit their specialist area. 

In preparation for the mock interviews, Pat Jamison from Sentinus conducted a workshop to prepare students in "How to complete an application form" and "How to market yourself for an Interview". Each student participated in a one to one or group interview and were given written or verbal feedback.

Interviewers commented that Foyle Students were very well informed and prepared for the mock interviews. They acknowledged the wealth of activities that many students were involved in from Duke of Edinburgh, Volunteering and many sporting activities. These extra-curricular activities provided students with many experiences which highlighted their skills and qualities.

I personally would like to thank the Interviewers for giving up their time to assist our students in succeeding in applications and interviews for University, College or the World of Work.
