Interview Process (optional)
This Interview Process is an (optional) activity for students to be interviewed.
When planning interviews, it is recommended that schools attempt to recruit adult volunteers to fill the role of interviewers. Ideally, it would be best to recruit business volunteers who hold jobs similar to those that the students are seeking. Being interviewed by adults not known to the students, is extremely effective. Each interview should take approximately 3 - 5 minutes per student.
We also recommend that, if at all possible, the volunteer interviewers be asked to assist you with Job Placement. Their thoughts, coupled with your knowledge base, can lead to some interesting job placements. Don’t be afraid to assign students jobs that you might not have considered prior to the interview process. It is not uncommon to see a side of some students that you have never seen before.
