Interview Skills

The Open University of Mauritius (OU) has developed Employability Skills Courses that allow learners to acquire soft skills that are as important as academic qualifications, especially in an era of rapidly evolving knowledge.

Job interviews can make anyone nervous. After all, one wants to make the best impression one can.

The videos cover ways to help students connect their school or university experiences to employers’ job requirements. The videos will review the issues and provide an in-depth analysis of the interviewing process.
