TY Skills at Work Programme 2020 (13)

Session 2

Thank you to Sharon, Sandra and Denise from Marks and Spencers for coming in today and talking to our TY students aboutthe history of Marks and Spencers and how it came to be in Ireland. They then advised students about how to best present a CV from a HR perspective.

The highlight of the morning was where Denise and Sandra did a role play of a good and bad interview. It taught the students the importance of first impressions and how attention to detail can big a big difference.

Huge thank to the girls for giving up their morning to work with the transition years. Getting a hands on practical workshop likes this really helps to get students thinking about the working world and the importance of first impressions.
