Step one: Top Fear

I think the scariest thing is going to the interviews. That might be your top fear too... But I don't know. Basically what happens is, your first interview would be with 'connextions' (Connextions is a service which supports young people in education and other things such as jobs. They also give advice when needed about these topic). This would be happening around when you're doing your GCSE (In year 11).
In the interview, the person interviewing you will ask you a range of questions about your interests and what you would like to be when you grow up. This interview will help you choose your subjects. OK, at this point you'll properly already wet your pants! But don't fear, just let out everything. When you've told then your interests and your dream job. Your interviewer will tell you, what subjects you have to aim for & what grades you need for it.



This is a picture of my cousin Lucy in her first interview!



For example, you say you want to be an accountants. Your interviewer will say, 'You would have to study English and maths because they would be very useful, but you would also need ICT skills & knowledge. The grades you need must be between A*-C for all subjects (English, maths and ICT. Also this is your GCSE grades)'. So, just stay with the flow and you'll be fine. This is what basically happened in my interview. Yours might be a bit different.
There are more interviews. In total, I had two. This one and another one with a teacher from the college I was going to go to. What happened was, the teacher asked me what subjects I want to study. Then she asked me a range of questions why I wanted to study them.




 TOP Tips:
-Be confident!
-Don't waffle on, cut your speech short.


That's it really. Good luck!
