Another successful workshop today! The team just finished interview flip at Greenford High School, the students loved it and the volunteers were great 😁 One of the volunteers was asked in their interview if they were flexible with work and responded that he could touch his toes 🤣🤣

Having a first interview can be so nerve- wracking which is why we think it's so important to give young people the chance to practice their interview skills and get feedback from employers. Check out our instagram to find out how Abdullah and Bilal found their first mock interview!

How do you best get young people who’ve missed out on that first job into a workplace where they can learn what it is to be part of a team and to really have that sense of achievement? The pandemic generation deserves a chance. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
