Game for a Job

Synopsis: Targeted at the less articulate, often disaffected young person who lacks even the most basic job search skills. It aims to communicate those fundamental skills - without which success in applying for a job is virtually impossible - in an entertaining style, by using the format of a typical TV gameshow of incorporate humour, fun, drama and action in order to gain and keep the viewers’ attention. Features three separate games:
The Letter Game - in which contestants are invited to spot the mistakes which riddle a scruffy, badly-written application letter; The Telephone Game - in which contestants phone an employer in response to a job advert they have seen in the local newspaper, committing some of the "howlers" people so often make; The Interview Game - Mock interviews in which the contestants score points for making a good "first impression" on an employer and avoid the pitfalls to which many candidates so often fall victim.
