President's Night at Fitzwilliam College |
We help with mock interviews..
A group of members recently conducted Mock Interviews with students on the Foundation Course at Cambridge Regional College. These are students whose previous educational experience has been unsatisfactory, many leaving school with few or no qualifications, and consequently with very low self-esteem and little confidence in their ability. In the Foundation Year, they focus on improving their English Language and Maths, usually with the intention of trying a GCSE at the end of the year, and also developing their personal and social skills with a view to being able to apply for a College FE course/apprenticeship and/or part-time or full time work. The purpose of these Mock Interviews was to help students overcome their fear of an interview and improve their presentation of themselves to people they didn’t know. Rotarians interviewed in pairs, interviewing students for 15/20 minutes and then giving the students feedback and advice. Subsequent feedback from the students suggested they had appreciated the experience and learned from it. We will be undertaking a further session of Mock Interviews on 25 April.

Antony Warren re-joins our Club and is welcomed back. After joining the Rotary Club of Cambridge in 2005 Antony was forced to resign four years later over increasing work pressure as a Cambridge GP. We asked him why he had come back and he said that he always enjoyed the meetings and the fellowship but before he retired he was not able to become involved in events. He went on to say that he was very touched by his welcome back and that it was nice to meet again old members and also our new members.
