Keywords: STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Results), Interview tips, preparation, table, competency based questions, Job hunting, application. I’ve created this resource to help students with competency based interviews. This should allow students to prepare more effectively for such interviews. The STAR method gives structure to the answer and the competencies table gives the opportunity to bring together examples from different aspects of life. Two types of documents available: Colour and Limited colour. Hope this helps. Please review or rate this resource.

I hope the resource that I have created is useful. (Please feel free to rate/comment.) Ideal for Year 12 students. 1) University research- Students fill in the table with the relevant information. Use the traffic light system to rate how your feel and obtain a final numerical total for that university. Need access to prospectuses or internet. 2) Personal Statement- Brainstorm information to put into the first draft of the personal statement. Best, A_Maths

Key words: Goals setting, Planning ahead, Start of term, Organisational skills, and Circle. All subjects. I've created ‘Wheel of Education’. This, I believe, makes the goals setting more visual for the students. How it works: There are eight sectors in the circle. Each sector can be for an academic subject or social subject or a future subject. OR individual topics in a particular academic subject. (No more than one or two words). 1) In the inner most ring, they rate their feeling out of 8 (8 being the highest & 1 the lowest) on that particular matter. 2) In the second outer ring, if it is an academic subject then the student can write the grade they are aiming for and the specific topics to improve upon in that subject. If, on the other hand, it is a social goal then the students can be more specific about exactly what they want to achieve (SMART). 3) In the outer most ring, the students can write what actions are needed in order to successfully achieve the goal. I recommend telling the students to think of immediate actions that can be done within a week or two, so that they can move that much closer to the goal and progress can be kept track of. Feel free to make any further comments/suggestions. Please rate this resource. Hope this helps.
