Recruitment Day

On Friday Higher Administration pupils underwent our annual recruitment programme but with an added twist!

Pupils had been given a job advert with the job description and person specification for a position as an Administration Assistant for an ICT company. Pupils then had to fill in an application form and then were divided into 2 separate pools.

They were given a list of possible questions they could be asked by the 2 seperate interview panels (who were made up or Mr MacLeod and 2 seniors, and Miss Boag and 2 seniors).

During the interview process the pupils were filmed using FLIP cameras. Once it was over, the panel typed up their notes and we will edit together the footage so the pupils can watch everyone's performance along with the feedback.

Hopefully this will give them some insight into the recruitment and selection process and also develop skills as interviewees and even interviewers.

Next week it will be our Int 2 class's turn, which will give some of the Higher pupils who were interviewed an opportunity to be the interrogator!

Congratulations to Emma and Hannah who were the two selected by the interview panels to get the job!
