This school year, we once again held the "Applicant Training" module for our eleventh graders in the "Fit for Life" (FfL) subject. The students had a consistently positive experience and learned a lot about themselves and their impact on others:
"It took away some of the nervousness before the first job interview and also the uncertainty of how something like this works."
"I received a lot of feedback from different people regarding my appearance. This has shown me how I come across to other people and what I can improve."
"The applicant training gave me more experience in dealing with entrepreneurs."
This year, we were once again supported by 18 external partners who came to talk to the students for 5 minutes each. A job interview was briefly simulated and the students were given feedback afterwards.
Conclusion: Yes, you can learn to deal with nervousness by facing up to the situations that make you nervous. Our students can now look to the future with confidence and are well prepared for their first real job interviews.
