  4. How we can help -part 2 • Arrive promptly for the interview in the Careers Office. • If you are unable to make the appointment please let the Careers staff know beforehand and we can rearrange to appointment. • If you have an Assessment or test in class and you cannot leave the lesson your appointment will be rescheduled. • ALL students should have finished the homework set over the summer holiday to complete the Fast Tomato careers quiz.
