This resource is an exemplar personal statement for a leadership role for which I was successful in securing an interview and a post. The exemplar provides many examples of my personal achievements in teaching but it should be fairly easy to adapt this and personalise it to any job applicant.
Job Interviews + Preparation. For the Gatsby Careers Guidelines - a detailed lesson containing a 1-2 hour PowerPoint, worksheets, clips, interview role play activities - for KS3/ KS4.
This lesson has recently been updated for 2024, and students will spend the first part following the journey of a student called Katey, as she tries to gain a position in the tech industry. They will follow her from Year 8, how she prepared, worked hard and overcame setbacks up until the age of 22, when she finally lands a job at a small start-up.
Students will then think about their own journeys, before completing job interview role play exercises and finally creating a TikTok (not on their phones) about how preparation for their eventual successful job interview actually starts now, whilst still at school.

This is a powerpoint presentation of photographs of a successful Foundation application portfolio.
