Pupils Samantha Eggar and Jenny Duncan from Waldegrave School for Girls have been preparing themselves for the world of work by taking part in a series of mock interviews. The sessions have been assisted by the Rotary Club of Twickenham upon Thames over four Tuesdays during the month. Our photograph shows club member Gordon Peel and club president Mark Scudamore carrying out the interviews at the school in Fifth Cross Road, Twickenham. This is the third year that the club has assisted with the project, which allows students to practise their pre-interview preparation and then interview skills. The exercise also stimulates discussion amongst other class members. Anyone interested in learning a bit more about Rotary is invited to have a look at the club web site on www.tutrotary.org
