Work Sustainability 1 - What an Employer looks for in an Employee

Mission 1: Find a job.

As soon as we start this module, we have a phone call from Salty. He is concerned and wishes to meet us in the café. It is located to the right of “Ronnie's fruit and veg” shop (there is a local outside).

Mission 2: Meet Salty at the café.

When we speak to Salty he tells us there is no work for him. He has tried looking for a sailing job but there are none for him. As there are plenty of jobs on the island, we tell him he must go for an interview. That is what we must do after all.

Mission 3: Find the Job Centre.

The job centre is to the right of the café, two doors along.

Mission 4: Speak to an employment adviser.

Cybergirl has already got a job as an employment advisor and suggests that some training on the computers will allow us to gain an interview for various jobs depending on how well we do. She suggests we use one of the computer consoles dotted around the room.

Mission 5: Use a console to get an interview.

Approach one of the consoles and, after selecting with the space bar, use the mouse to “log on”. There are three games to play; the student must attempt all of the games to get a score high enough to continue. If the student finishes one game and attempts it again, the score for that game will be re-set and the new score used. Once the student is satisfied with his overall score, they may quit and proceed to the next level.

Note, although the games are straight forward, instructions for the individual games are available inside the games themselves.

Mission 6: Discuss your results with the adviser.

The results earned by the student will give a greater selection of interviews they can choose from. The interview letters are unlocked by the percentage achieved. The first letter is unlocked at up to 20%, the second at between 20% and 40%, and so on until 80% or above unlocks all the letters.

Mission 7: Task complete.
