Asking questions at the end of a job interview is a great way to make yourself stand out from other applicants, and interviewers will often expect them. If you're having trouble thinking of questions to ask, you can research the company online, or have a look at this blog post for ideas.  The latest issue of the DYW Orkney Employers’ newsletter has been published.
This issue includes details of an Employment Support Showcase being held in November, which is open to any employer who is struggling to recruit and looking for help and advice to grow and develop their workforce. We also have information about the DYW Pledge which launched in August, replacing the Young Person's Guarantee, and we look back on some of the employer engagement activity the team has undertaken so far this academic year. The newsletter is now available to view online via Sway and you can access it here.  Pupils in S3 and S4 attended the event to learn more about the breadth of careers in the construction industry. An event showcasing the variety of careers available in the construction industry was recently held in the Orkney Auction Mart.
Organised by Orkney Construction Training Group (OCTG) and supported by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), the Construction Careers Event showcased the different trades available, highlighting the variety of skills that are needed across the industry.  Jobs of the Week are live!

Even if they don't have any paid vacancies this demonstrates that you are proactive and motivated. They may be able to offer you an internship or placement, and when a vacancy does come up within the company, they might even ask you first.

Employers often look for computer literacy in potential candidates (even in industries you might not expect!), and they'll usually list this in the person specification.  Jobs of the Week are live!
