Session – 7
Day 3, 27th Feb 2022, 12.10 pm-01.00 pm
The best part of this session was, students who formed the panel realized the requirements of the right candidate. When the tables turned, they could identify with the employer’s perspective, who is in pursuit of the best candidate. The panel members shared their feedback on every candidate. The panel was changed after a few candidates were interviewed. The trainers also added their viewpoints. This mock interview session was highly effective as the participants had a hands-on experience of an HR interview.
Speaker
Mock Interview
Feedback
Overall, the three-day training sessions were quite impactful. Feedback forms were shared with the students and their responses were recorded. Their feedback has given further impetus to CWC to conduct such training programs in future for the benefit of the students. CWC has also come up with some initiatives to help the students in upskilling themselves.
A WhatsApp group is created with the students and the trainers of CWC so that the trainers can share useful material and links to some valuable resources with the students.
A new Gmail id is created so that students can share their resumes, sample mails for different situations so that the CWC trainers can give them customized feedback.
For most students who asked for extra practice sessions on interviews, CWC has decided to conduct mock interviews during their free slots from the month of April, after the students complete their MID and semester III exams.
