Recently, we were lucky enough to have a visit from the wonderful Kat, the owner of Black Kat HR based at The Digital Media Centre in Barnsley.
Black Kat HR provides expert HR and employment law consultant services across South Yorkshire and beyond.
Kat kindly volunteered to complete 4 mock interview sessions with our post 16 students, enabling them to experience what an interview would be like before they go for interviews in further education or employment in the future.
Our students were very excited to welcome Kat and although initially nervous, Kat’s calming nature and clear questions soon put them at ease and had them selling themselves confidently.
“It was my pleasure to deliver a session for your students giving them the opportunity to practice taking part in an interview. As a local HR consultant I work with lots of different businesses on bringing in new employees and it was great to see the students really get involved in the session, giving some well thought out answers and sharing their aspirations around employment in the future. Students fed back that the session made them feel more confident and prepared to handle an interview either for college or employment which was excellent to hear.
Thank you for welcoming me in to your school.”
