Dear Class:
Mock interviews are on Thursday, December 12 (A day) and Friday, December 13 (B day).
Monday: This is the last day I will be working on the resumes. They must be perfect by the time you leave class today. I will be at my desk accepting the resumes, grading them as handed to me, and then it is done. Tuesday: Next period we will only be working on the interview process itself so I will not be looking at the resumes. NO RESUME...NO INTERVIEW...NO INTERVIEW...YOU DON'T PASS THIS CLASS AND YOU WILL BE RETAKING THIS CLASS NEXT SEMESTER OR NEXT YEAR. If you need help with your resume during class, you need to get a neighbor to help you finish it correctly. I have edited them, in most cases, 3 times already. You have 36 minutes to complete this task'
You will be asking a partner 8 of the questions from the Interview Questions. I want you to start a new document and paste in the interview questions the other student did and how he/she did on each of them and save the document as "Interview Questions (name of interviewee)". You will start this exercise by shaking their hand, smiling, look him/her in the eyes and introducing yourself (hand your resume when the time comes). Gesture him/her to take a seat. You each need to be interviewed and be an interviewer.
