How to use the videos

These videos can be used in a number of ways – both in the classroom as a teaching resource for employability in relation to a future in management, and as a self-directed learning resource. Students can review and use videos to inform their approach to applications and interviews, and to help make a decision about whether a summer internship experience is something they’d like to consider.

Making you think...

To build on the content covered in these videos, individuals or groups could carry out the following tasks:

• Consider how the University of the Highlands and Islands’ Graduate Attributes (academic skills, communication, self-management, interpersonal skills, and social awareness) could complement and fit in with Enterprise Rent-a-Car’s key competencies (strong work ethic, flexibility, communication, leadership, and customer service) if you were thinking of applying for an internship or graduate scheme.
• Think of examples where you could demonstrate that you have experience and skills in the key competencies listed by Enterprise Rent-a-Car: strong work ethic, flexibility, communication, leadership, and customer service.
• Often at interview stage, the interviewer will ask you if you have any questions about the company or job. Do a bit of research about Enterprise Rent-a-Car and think of some questions you could ask Graham in an interview situation. Consider how you can highlight knowledge of the company (successes, challenges, competitors, etc.); show willingness to succeed/thrive (look at promotion routes, success stories, etc.); and/or highlighting your interest in the opportunity (such as level of responsibility of interns or graduates, daily tasks, experiencing different departments).
