Build your question bankIn pairs, write six questions. Use these stems, and finish them so they are about this employer:
• What does a normal Tuesday look like for you?
• What did you do between school and this job?
• What is the hardest part of the job that nobody warns you about?
• Which subjects do you actually use?
• How do people get in here at 16 or 18 - apprenticeships, placements, something else?
• What is the typical starting salary for someone joining your team?
• What has changed most in your industry in the last five years?
• What would make you remember a student who came here today?
Now pick your best three and underline them. Those are the ones you will ask.
