The College Planning Team is pleased to present:
Interview Skills for Success
When: Thursday, November 12th from 2:30 - 4:00
Where: Pine Lake Prep - Room TBD
Ages: High School Students
Students work hard to get good grades, to get high scores on the SAT and ACT, and to participate in all of the extra-curricular activities that appeal to colleges, but a bad college interview could negate all of that hard work!
Give your high school student the opportunity to learn how to make a great first and lasting impression on an interviewer. Participants in this class will learn about, and have the opportunity to practice with their peers in a relaxed atmosphere, how to:
Prepare for an interview with good questions, proper attire, and a positive attitude.
- Have positive body language.
- Confidently greet the interviewer and make polite conversation.
- Answer questions with confidence and poise.
- Use electronics appropriately.
- Sell themselves without sounding boastful.
