Interview panel wanted

Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus is seeking volunteers from the community to take part in its School to Work Interview Day from December 8 to 10.

The campus requires community members to volunteer their time to interview students in a simulated work environment.

The School to Work Interview Day aims to prepare students for when they leave school to find employment in the wider community.

Students will be asked to prepare an employment portfolio which is based on a mock job advertisement for a part-time/casual position.

The interviews will provide students with an opportunity to experience and receive constructive feedback on the interview process.

Volunteers can give up a full day, half day or a number of days to help the school and students.

"It would be appreciated if you are able to volunteer your time and expertise to be an interviewer on a panel,"

Careers advisor Ms Sara Cutting said volunteers were needed to conduct interviews for approximately 20 minutes per student.

A brief daily information session will be held at 8am prior to interviews, which will start 8.30am and finish around 3pm.

For more information, contact Sara Cutting on 4341 9066 or email sara.cutting@det.nsw.edu.au
