We're going to play a game to test this.

<!-- TODO: Link to a "match the CVs" game when one exists: https://projects.codeyourfuture.io/briefings/#cv-matching-game -->

### Set-up (5 minutes)

All trainees should send a copy of their CV personal statement to one volunteer. That volunteer should make a slideshow where each slide shows one personal statement, without a name. It should just show the personal statement, not the whole CV.
A volunteer should open [the CV Matching Game](https://cv-eval.hosting.codeyourfuture.io/), set up a game, and share a link with all trainees.

All trainees should join the game and paste in their CV personal statement.

### Playing the game (15 minutes)

Go through as a class one slide at a time. The class should vote on who each statement belongs to. Don't reveal who was correct until the end of the game.
Play the game - each trainee will be presented with each personal statement, and they should vote on whose personal statement they think it is.
