Mock job interviews for Sixth Form students
Mock job interviews for Sixth Form students Four members of staff of PwC Malta recently conducted mock job interviews for St Martin’s College Sixth Form students. The aim of these interviews is to help students experience a real-life job interview and help them prepare for the world of work.

Individual feedback will be provided to the students during the follow-up session which will be held next week. St Martin’s College Sixth Form is committed to developing the skills that young people require for the modern workplace. This exercise, organised by Ms Eleanor Abela, the College’s Career Adviser, helps our students build the confidence they need in an interview situation.
