A brief guideline of what employers looked for in a CV as well as a future employee was also explained, with interesting real-life examples. Participants were taught on how to properly present themselves in job interviews, with tips on how to answer common and tricky questions. Together with Dr. Dennis Wong, the Engineering lecturer in charge of the Industrial-Based Learning programme, Mdm. Christina then conducted 3 mock job interviews, with one participant each from the Engineering, Business and Multimedia courses taking part. The pros and cons of each interview were pointed out for both the interviewee and audience’s benefit. The participants all agreed that it was a very beneficial and informative workshop that would help them greatly in applying for jobs after graduating or for industrial placement
