How to catch employer’s attention in interviews? Research has found most interviews are
decided in the first two to three minutes Make sure you practice your strong and professional
handshake accompanied by a gracious smile and confident body language But don’t let the
confidence end there From the moment you press the buzzer, you should come across as
professional and dynamic Making confident small talk with both the receptionist and
the hiring
managers will allow you to expose a little of your personality without the pressure of answering:
“Where do you see yourself in five years?”
Trang 9Confidence (not arrogance) is important Fight through the nerves and give your potential
new employer a good impression of the real you Essentially you have nothing to lose, so

looking for Now think about your own achievements and all the challenges you have overcome

Colleges and universities deliver vital opportunities and drive economic growth Yet the current
coronavirus crisis is now creating huge financial uncertainty in post-16 education
Most importantly, the government must make a firm commitment to guarantee funding
for
Trang 11institutions, protect jobs and rule out the closure of any college or university Without these
guarantees vital academic, educational and support staff will be lost – all of whom are incredibly
expensive to try and replace
We need to see colleges and universities work together, and with others, in the national interest
The government should insist that, in return for underwriting current funding, institutions accept
a duty to work cooperatively to benefit students and our wider society This means an
end to the
unseemly competition for students between institutions, which is both wasteful and unproductive, and will lead to even more financial instability
This cooperation must extend to exams and assessment It is increasingly clear that
attempts to hold exams on a business as usual basis will have
profound consequences for the fairness and
equality of the process While staff have been working hard to shift teaching online, the National
Union of Students has rightly raised concerns about how all students can participate fully and fairly in exams
Overambitious plans to resume operations in the autumn risk misleading potential students into
believing a return to normal operations is imminent Only a real partnership between all stakeholders, of the type recently agreed in the railway industry, can give students the certainty
they need
Action is urgent to protect our colleges and universities, so they can lead the recovery Now is
the time to turn decisively away from the market-driven madness of the past decade We need a
