Mock Interview Day - Monday 4th July

Year 10 Students put to the test in mock interviews 

In order to further our careers offer at Norlington school and 6th Form, we invited all Year 10 students to try out their interview skills by giving them an insight into interviewing skills and techniques. Over 20 volunteers from companies such as KMPG, HSBC, Societe Generale, Morgan Stanley, and Barclays spent half a day at Norlington School and 6th Form supporting out students to gain first-hand experience of what it's like to be interviewed for a job.
