Your qualifications and CV will get you an interview, but your skills and attributes, and how well you can reflect on these and articulate them, will get you the job. Great advice from the panel #birminghamtechweek ⁦@JubileeCentre1⁩ ⁦@In4Group⁩ ⁦@PwC⁩

How to get ahead in a tech driven world? Double down on what it means to be human; be curious; develop critical thinking, confidence, team working- tech skills can be taught later. Great advice from Birmingham tech week panel. ⁦@SheridanAsh⁩ #btw24#charactermatters

@PaulGarvey4 What are you really looking for? Create a great question then give it to candidates in advance so it’s a genuine heartfelt thoughtful response. If they’ve got a tribe to help them even better. They’ll draw on this in future anyway # reallife

@_MissieBee @jw22304 You could adapt this for year 6? https://t.co/k4gRXE362F

‘Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?’ Love this Mary Oliver quote for one of the walls of our new Sixth form- what other quotes should we share at UCB6 to inspire our students?

[Bec Tigue @UCBCharacter]

‘Conversations about character education help us reflect on our moral purpose as teachers, and reconnect with the reasons we joined the profession- to make a difference to young people’s lives’ Thank you @j_ataylor_77 @JubileeCentre1 and @ACE_Character for a great conference
