Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Dear Class:

Interviews are on May 1 & 2, Thursday and Friday!  Please meet me at the Library dressed appropriately for the interview.  If you do not have the proper clothes, please see your counselor or go to the Career Center.  I will have your final resume and your grade sheet with me.

Wednesday
PREPARE FOR THE INTERVIEW. 
Click the link- INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.

You will be doing "Practice" interviews with each other.  I will be handing out the sheets for you to use.  Please take this very seriously.  Each practice will help each of you adjust to the process of interviewing...

Please finish the interview questions that you started and worked on Thursday and Friday.  Copy the questions into your freewrite document and answer each question in a complete sentence and thoughtfully. 


Be ready to interview each other.  You need to stand up, introduce yourself to the other person, smile, maintain good eye contact, and shake their hands.  You will ask a question yourself to the person interviewing you.  At the conclusion of the interview, you will smile, maintain good eye contact, shake their hand, and thank them for interviewing you.

I will be handing out the scoring guides and we will be looking at those today.  I want you to put the information requested on the top of the paper.  I will give you points for that and you will be handed it back on interview day along with a clean copy of your resume.

WE WILL COVER RESUME FORMATTING TODAY.

  Learning Targets:
  1. Students will know the basic components of an effective resume and how each is developed.
  2. Students will generate their own effective personal resume focused upon their career goals, interests, experiences,  skills and abilities.
  3. Students will use business language in writing one-liners to describe their skills
All final resumes are due today.
When you finish your draft or as you complete it....
follow the Resume Building Slide Presentation 2014.

  1. Print your resume today. Next class period is the last day to revise before the mock interview. 
  2. Finish your first resume. 
    Write your one liners in business language complete with experience example.
    Compare your draft to the class student example on slide 21
  3. You should have had a partner score your resume by now using the Resume Scoring Guide.  If not, go to an earlier day and find that document and review another student's resume.  It will be part of your grade!  Save it to the documents folder. Read the directions.
    Score your partner's work accurately and then make the revisions necessary. There should be a score for each arrow. 
  4. Make revisions before you print off
