1)  Watch Video on Informational Interview.
 Mock Interviews are just around the corner.  In order to do as well as you can, it is always important to prepare and practice.  To this end, answer the questions using complete sentences.  These will be some of the same questions asked of you during the Mock Interview, so it is imperative that you think about how you will answer these questions in a thoughtful, business like way.  Always be positive, never make excuses, explain how you are working on your weaknesses (and you should be), and give specific measurable results for your skills.

2) Hand out of the grading sheet for the interview.  Put your name, Mr. Green-Hite, the period, and the above date that reflects the date you will be interviewing.  I will dock you points if the date is incorrect!

3)  Brief continuation of the interview process.  Shake hands with the person next to you and introduce yourself.
      A.  Four parts to the "Introduction" in an interview.  Smile, Establish eye contact, Shake their hand, Introduce yourself.  Practice today.

5)  Applying for admission to Mount Hood Community College for "College Now".  You need to use your personal email as a David Douglas HS email will not allow for outside the DDSD emails to come through and that means that you will not get your student id number to register for the class in two weeks.  This is done at this site:  Mt Hood CC

If you are already admitted to Mt. Hood or received a student id number when your applied for admission, then the class is "HD110" section "80".  My name will appear as one of the classes.  Select it and then add for Winter term 2016.
