Day 9

Today the majority of the day was taken up by presentation and interview skills workshops.In the presentation skills workshop students were challenged to design a radio station, including the concept, business model, average day's programming and even a jingle! They then presented their pitch to the group.

Ideas included a local radio station for new artists to pay to get their music out there, sponsored by New College, Oxford!

The interview skills workshop was run by an experienced human resourcer who has interviewed hundreds of candidates. Questions such as "who are you?" and "what is your greatest fault?" are very difficult to answer on the spot, yet often come up in interviews for a wide range of jobs. Students were encouraged to explore who they are as potential employees and students, as well as what makes them special.

Then it was back to the accommodation for Thai Green Curry, followed by a relaxed evening watching films. Forrest Gump was on, and many students had tears in their eyes by the end of the film!
