A typical Transition workshop is split into 3 activities:1. A CV review wherein the quality of one's resume is assessed by industry professionals and direct feedback is provided to the individual; 2. A Mock interview which provides the candidates an opportunity for a 'dry run' in answering competency- based interview questions posed to them by a panel of assessors; 3. An assessment in which the candidates work in a team to solve a problem. The event is designed help prospective candidates identify why he/she had probably not made an interview shortlist , or fell short of expectations in their interview or assessment centre..AFBE-UK Scotland has successfully run several Transition events in Aberdeen and which has yielded positive results for many of the attendees in terms of interview invitations and securing jobs .Transition which began in Aberdeen in 2012 has become very popular among students.
