Job Interview Simulation

   Hi everyone! Any excitement recently? I had this excitement a few weeks ago, when we, the students did a Job Interview Simulation with our English teacher, Mr. Achdi. I was so nervous at first but I think I did a pretty good job eventually. My teacher played a role as an employer, and I played the applicant. This simulation aims to provide students with an overview of job applications in real life. Interesting right?   If I'm not mistaken, I was the fourth applicant. I was relieved by the fact that I wasn't the first applicant to be interviewed. When the interview started, the employer began to ask me questions. I think the conversation went like this: employer: Tell me about yourself! We ought to answer this question in a less personal way, such as: applicant: My name is Almadeena Maritza, I live in Bogor. After graduating from Queen's University Belfast with an architectural degree, I work as an intern in Wilson Architecture.  employer: Why should we employ you?...

Job Application Letter and CV

We also did a job interview simulation, but I'll clarify the detail later in the next blog.  First, we searched for a job vacancy on the internet. Once we found it, we sent it to our teacher, Mr. Achdi to get it approved. The job vacancy must not be expired, the work experience requirements must be equal to or less than 3 years.      Long story short, I get my job vacancy approved and started to write my job application letter. I applied as an Architectural Technologist in Ireland. I was so confused to make the job application letter rational. Here's the thing, I am Indonesian that graduated from a University somewhere in Ireland, previously worked at this company in Ireland, BUT my address pointed that I live in Indonesia (?) But somehow I managed to ignore that odd...
