Tuesday 4/19/16 Agenda

We will be conducting a "Mock" Interview every Friday for the next 6 weeks.  Each student must be ready to interview for a job.  The person who interviews you will be one of our guest speakers from the public who will make this interview as realistic as possible for you.  You will be asked questions and you must respond as if you are in a "real" interview setting.  I will be grading you on how serious you take this activity and how professional you can be during this time.
