Week 3 - Interview Day


Tomorrow is the big interview day with Juniors and Seniors.   The entire school will be "Dressed for Success." 

Students have been scheduled for 20 minute sessions with one of the career coaches to conduct a pratice interview.   This session will also be another chance for the coach to provide feedback on the student's resume.

At the end of the session, we will ask students to take our Survey  so we can get their feedback on this year's program.  This feedback is incredibly helpful and will help us improve our program for next year.

Finally, the students will be given a handout that has our contact information on it, so they can contact us with their resume if they need additional help.


Class materials and agendas are available on the Session Materials page. We've also created a page of helpful links to help with building resumes and preparing for interviews.

Week 2 - Resume Preparation

This week we worked with Juniors and Seniors on on resume preparation.  We used the "Strengths and Weaknesses" exercise from the previous week to help identify strengths they expand upon to make their resume more robust.

Next week students will participate in mock interviews with the career coaches.
