What are interview skills? Interview skills incorporate a variety of intrapersonal and interpersonal skills to best prepare your child for an interview.
What is the purpose of interview skills? Being prepared for an interview does not involve memorising answers and recalling information. Rather, it involves taking into consideration the role of the interviewer, the importance of non-verbal communication, being as attentive and natural as possible in an interview setting. In many cases, people feel that the interview is an oral examination whereby children must memorise the answers to potential questions. This course dispels this misconception. Children are guided through the interview process by taking into account their strengths and contributions to the school environment and how to be mentally and emotionally prepared.
Benefits of attending interview skills: This course will encourage children to enjoy and flourish at an interview. Children are taught the value of being confident and developing a rapport with the interviewer through dialogue and discussion. Children are guided through techniques to be mentally prepared and enhance their own growth mindset. Interview skills develop children’s ideas into detailed answers.
About this course: This virtual course has been designed for children to enjoy, have fun and learn. Our virtual weekend courses are small. The rationale behind having small groups is to enable tutors and children greater scope for interaction, dialogue, questions and answers. We also stimulate children to be creative. We teach children to learn how to identify a problem and look for a solution. We also foster the development of resilience. Sometimes, some children tend to give up easily. We teach children that they need to try for alternate solutions to a given problem in a logical and creative way.
What we teach: The aim and purpose of interviews. The importance of being yourself in an interview. Pre-empting questions. How to begin and end an interview. The value of body language.
Differentiation: At Richer Education, we understand that ‘one size does not fit all‘. Therefore, our tutors and mentors differentiate the content of our sessions. We ensure that all children, regardless of their level of knowledge, are engaged at the appropriate level and pace.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR IMPACT: THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS FOR LIFE
Children certainly benefit from attending interview skills sessions as an extra-curricular (enrichment) activity. In recent years, we noticed how children become more confident when speaking to other children and adults. Likewise, we also observed, how children develop a positive attitude to speak in public and how the justify their arguments in a given situation. Another important reason why this course is highly sought after is that the eleven plus and common entrance exams are gradually changing. In effect, many schools are now prioritising the interview component when children after the actual examination. The main reason for this is that many independent schools are aware of children being heavily tutored to attaint the highest possible score. However, the approach is changing and schools are also looking into children that are also able to think critically, articulate their thoughts and justify their arguments. The emphasis is on fun, yet we inspire learning about concepts through dialogue and questioning.
IN THIS COURSE, CHILDREN WILL:
- Learn about the purpose of interviews
- Learn techniques on how to put an argument together and how to deconstruct an argument
- How to listen and tolerate other people’s opinions
- Learn techniques on how to persuade an audience
- Develop problem-solving skills, teamwork and resilience
TOPICS INCLUDE
Listening skills. Types of questions. How to answer questions. Conversational skills. Confidence. The right mindset. Developing vocabulary. Eye contact and posture. Being prepared. Writing About Me. Developing a Discussion. From Ideas to Answers. Mock Interviews.
