Level 7 - The Interview Techniques Guide

We're midway through Careers Week 2011 and we've got a real treat for you today. Level 7 is a step-by-step film guide to interview techniques - helping school leavers prepare for the world of work. You'll follow Chloe as she progresses through the 7 levels and pick up essential advice along the way.

The Level 7 films were recently acknowledged at the MEDEA Awards where the judges suggested that they should be promoted among all young men and women across the EU. You can read the full Level 7 showcase here.

The Bad Covering Letter

Now that you've got interview techniques covered, it's vital that those you advise understand the importance of covering letters. A good covering letter will make an application stand out and can lead to an invitation to an interview. A bad covering letter will most likely result in the recruiter discarding an application form before they look at the CV.

We've attached a simple exercise called The Bad Covering Letter. See if you can spot the 10 reasons why this covering letter would end up on the rejected pile.
