Mock interviews held

Year 9 students from Brisbane Water Secondary College took part in mock interviews on November 25, 28 and 29, in preparation for entering the workforce.

Careers and transition advisor Ms Yvette Beemster said the students arrived on time, well dressed and well prepared.

"Many of the teachers commented that they were heartened to see our students walking into the school looking like they are well on the way to becoming responsible employed community members," said Ms Beemster.

The panellists, about 30 different business owners and community representatives, said they were impressed to see the calibre of students at the college.

"Three of our students were offered part time employment as a result and all of our students will go into their next interview with more than a fighting chance," said Ms Beemster.
