Interview Skill Script # 3

Theatre is a rehearsal for life

If the play is regarding the Romans, the audience does not expect Egyptians on stage, if the theme is regarding religion; the audience does not expect car shows on stage.

During an interview, the interviewer is expecting all the points mentioned here under.

So give your audience (THE INTERVIEWER) what they want.

The importance of an interview:

· First Impression

·       -  Being yourself  - say the truth

·        - Know what you are saying

·        - Be precise

·         - Do not hesitate

·         - Look smart

·        - Be interested / ask relevant questions

Europe and Unemployment: CZECH REPUBLIC

Unemployment of Graduates in Czech Republic

Numbers:

Between 2008 and 2011 the unemployment rate grew from 6,21% to 17,75% (for apprentices) and from 3,6% to 6,98% (for master degree graduates). Which means that numbers started to grow in 2009 with the economic crisis. It also shows that the rate lowers with the higher education.

Reasons:

It is easier for employers not to give new jobs than to cancel existing positions. Also they obviously prefer experienced applicants.

Measurements taken by The Czech Ministry of Emplyment in 2010:

Measures taken by The Czech Ministry of Employment in 2010:

- Financially support for employers to create socially efficient graduate jobs (traineeships);

- to give priority to graduate people

- to prefer prevention (vocational guidance)

Problem to solve:

FLEXIBILITY: school education needs to focus more on developing skills than gaining a knowledge (more experiences for graduates).

MOBILITY: Housing policy needs to change - regulated rent (one of the communism relicts) causes that people rather buy the property than rent the flat – so they are not willing to move for job opportunities.

Our organization (ISC CTN in Prague):

Offers the possibility to (voluntarily) participate at various activities and develop practical skills (such as presentation skills, organizational skills, team working, etc…).
