Careers

Are you thinking about university, apprenticeships or employment after sixth form?

If you are considering competitive courses such as medicine, physiotherapy, dentistry etc., start planning work experiences early.

Getting in to university is competitive: start thinking about options now. Start planning work experience now.

If you're not sure about your career options after sixth form, why not arrange a careers interview through Mrs Cope (in the library)

How to argue or persuade

Techniques In no particular order:
• Target audience
‐ Who am I talking to?
• Don’t be insulting or rude
• Rhetorical questions
‐ E.g. “Do the banks really know what they are doing?”
• Facts and figures
‐ These have to be believable.
• Opinions
‐ These also have to be believable.
‐ You can make these up!
• Satire/irony
‐ I.e. sarcasm
‐ E.g. “Of course Mr. Hallam is a fashion icon dripping in Armani and Dolce
and Gabana and I desperately want to look like him. ”
• Power of three
‐ E.g. this is disgusting, despicable and down right outrageous.
• Mention the opposing argument but destroy it – rip it to shreds.
• Passion
‐ Be passionate about the subject.
• Take one side of the argument
‐ Stick with it.
• Think in logical “chunks” – as if you are writing paragraphs.
• Plan your argument
‐ Don’t lose steam and don’t rant.


Example questions:
• Should students be allowed to use mobile phones in lesson time?
• Should University students pay for their education?
• Should corporal punishment be used in schools?
• Should Millwall versus West Ham be played behind closed doors?
For a debate:
• Come up with some points for your argument.
• Pack in the techniques.
• Use a range of techniques.
• Use phrases like: “I passionately believe…” and “I am disgusted that…”
• DON’T just read from notes.
• DO a bit of preparation.
• DO make eye contact and make sure you sound enthusiastic – and have fun!
