Nobody needs your help more than students.
Kennedy H.S. provided mock interviews today for students with community volunteers and faculty. It was very rewarding and the students showed great appreciation.
While the trend of today's students is towards mediocrity, it is refreshing to work with these achievers. Taking the high road is a very lonely path with few experiences that confirm that going against the grain 'in this case' is worth it. These students benefit from the feedback of listening to their contributions and ambitions and then saying "you're on the right track!"
Interviewees : have two questions prepared to ask the interviewer in the end. One question is geared towards an interviewer that you feel is uncomfortable or hurried with the process. Another type would be for the one who is confident and intent on discovering talent. To end the interview you may try something like :
1. How long have you worked here and has it been a good experience? This is easy for them to answer quickly and succinctly and will give them confidence and closure.
2. What are the top 3 traits that would be a good fit at this office?
I would like to discover other volunteer opportunities where my contributions would have a large impact. I would like to volunteer for some neighborhood committees and board of directors.
