Part 4 : How can I get a job?

  • .

    The fourth part will answer the question "How do I get a job?" in other words, where do I see job offers, how do I write an application letter, a CV, how do I meet professsionals...

    Before the mobility in Kidderminster, in the UK,  our students will  apply for a job. Each student having his fact file and his job card, will apply for a job and all the application forms and the CVs will be posted online to the team in charge of the job offer concerned.

    A contest could take place whose results will be given during the mobility : creating a video CV about the job of "Headmaster/headmistress".

    Then during the mobility, job interviews will take place. A jury will watch them and decide which person will get the job.

    Other activities can include activities that are sometimes done at interviews to show other skills - logic, languages or even an ‘in-tray’ activity which are very popular in England. (The in-tray exercise is an assessment activity that’s widely used by employers to measure candidates’ suitability for a job. It’s a business simulation where you play a member of staff who has to deal with the workload of a typical day. )

    The participants will develop their speaking and writing skills in English, they will meet students from the other partner schools, they will develop their digital and their collaborative skills.

    They will learn to write a CV, a cover letter, how to act and behave at a job interview.

    They will learn about British culture.
