Background

Generation Hong Kong is constantly providing education to employment services to different underserved populations in HK. The Guardians of the Silver Age project aims to redefine care and foster a compassionate eldercare ecosystem in Hong Kong. The program is comprised of training including innovative gerontechnology, on-the-job advice, mentorship, and alumni support components. It centers not only on the technical proficiency of the learners upon graduation, but also on their behavioral and mindset change in the process, offering them a holistic and compassion-based point of view in the value of their role towards enabling the wellbeing of older adults, and bringing peace of mind to their daily lives.In order to better prepare our learners to join the eldercare industry after 8 weeks of training, we are now recruiting skilled volunteers to help conduct mock interviews so the learners can gain confidence and have higher chance of success in the actual job interview.

What we have

CVs, mock interview flow, question bank, evaluation form and rubrics will be provided by our team.

Why this is important

The mock interview will familiarise the learners with the typical interview settings, so that they could become more confident in a real-life eldercare job interview session. The job role might vary from elderly home, day-care centre, integrated services, etc. The interviewer will encourage and empower interviewee to respond effectively. Through providing constructive feedbacks, our learners will be able to advance their skills in presenting themselves and responding to interview questions in a precise manner. We hope this could help our graduates get into the industry and become the change agents driving towards a compassion-based eldercare ecosystem.
