/in /by

Anton Bilinski and Luke Gardener represented Adams Harrison at the Samuel Ward Academy Student Careers Fair on 22nd September 2023.

Over 1200 students from all year groups attended the event and were able to ask questions at the Adams Harrison stand and about 35 other local businesses and further education establishments.

Luke commented that

the students were all enthusiastic and interested, from the youngest who often had a very clear idea of what they wanted to do when they grew up, to the older students who were more circumspect and were considering all options.

Samuel Ward Academy Mock Interview Day

We were delighted to be involved in supporting Samuel Ward Academy’s ‘Mock Interview Day’ with year 10 pupils on Wednesday 22nd March 2023.

Samuel Ward Academy Mock Interview Day

Louise Taghi, our Practice Manager, saw 7 students. She evaluated their CV’s and personal statements and performed a mock interview with them. After the interview Louise gave feedback to the student and returned a short written report on their performance.

Louise said “The students were well prepared and, although attending a face to face interview was nerve racking they engaged well and provided informative and interesting answers to my questions. I was impressed by the approach of the students I interviewed.”

Jacqui Singleton, Careers Practitioner at Samuel Ward Academy, said “Today turned out to be such a positive day for so many of our students. As nervous and anxious as they may feel before hand, they will look back on the experience in due course and realise how inspiring it has been.

These things don’t happen on their own, its takes support and commitment from people like Louise, and for that both myself and the school community are grateful.”

We were delighted to be invited to be involved in supporting Castle Manor Academy’s “Mock Interview Day” with year 11 pupils on Thursday 27th January 2022.

Jennifer Carpenter, Managing Partner had the task of evaluating CVs and personal statements, then interviewing four students. A feedback session was then given to the student and then a short written report on how they had performed.

“I was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the students involved. The CVs I saw were set out extremely well. The students were confident and engaging, despite how daunting it would have been to have met with a complete stranger via Teams” said Jennifer.

Daniel Course, Pathways Manager at Castle Manor Academy, Haverhill stated:

“Our student, tutor and supporting staff feedback has been fantastic and it was an event our students really enjoyed and would recommend for future years – although they did say it was challenging. Our students have particularly enjoyed receiving your feedback and have already been discussing what they would do differently if they were given the chance.”
