Mock interview days were held to give students tips and advice from experts on job seeking. Year 11 students at Atlantic Academy on Portland were given a head start on the competition through the mock interview day, which took place just days before lockdown. It was organised in conjunction with the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership. Students were put through their paces by a range of professionals from a retired dentist to a prison officer and a recruitment specialist from Mploy, an agency based in the South West. Tasha Board, Careers Lead at Atlantic Academy Secondary, organised the event and said: Our mock interview days give our students valuable experience. They gain an insight into what employers are looking for through the various professionals that take part – we have a lot of support from the local community – and they are given feedback and tips on how to improve if necessary.’’
