Today you will get a brief introduction to how successfully interview. While this is lesson has resources pulled for college interviews- the same concepts apply for jobs/career. STEP 1: As a class, watch this 5 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=248&v=DHDrj0_bMQ0 STEP 2: Individually, read this blog article: https://blog.prepscholar.com/college-interview-questions-you-should-prepare-for STEP 3: Individually, select 5 questions from the list that you will ask a classmate. STEP 4: Find a partner (or small group of 3) and a space to work either in the room/5th floor patio/ or hallway, and conduct an interview using the questions you selected from the reading. THIS MOCK INTERVIEW SHOULD TAKE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES PER PERSON. Take turns asking/answering questions. Give feedback about body language, strength of responses, etc. Take advantage of this practice! STEP 5: Upon returning to class, read the attached PDF. It was created by Mr. Landry who has experience interviewing perspective students for Rice University. STEP 6: Any remaining time can be used for independent study.
RESUMES

STEP 1: WHAT IS THE FAFSA?
STEP 2: MATERIALS NEEDED FOR FAFSA
STEP 3: HOW TO FILE
STEP 4: COMMON MISTAKES/FAQ ON THE FAFSA
STEP 5: FILL OUT THE FAFSA
STEP 6: WHAT IS THE CSS PROFILE?
STEP 7: FILL OUT THE CSS PROFILE COLLEGE ESSAY PEER REVIEW Some people are just uncomfortable showing others their writing. That’s understandable, but it should not prevent you from taking advantage of the opportunity peer review represents. Writing is communication, after all. Lots of different people, with different skill levels, interests, attitudes and so on, will read what you’ve written. Getting feedback from several different readers greatly enhances your ability to reach a wide audience, because it shows you the expectations and assumptions your readers bring to your writing and helps you reach them. - Davis Oldham Think of this as an opportunity to get to know someone better. Just as the admissions officer (or HR representative) does not know you, your peer will also have an unfamiliar eye when reading your essay. This will make their feedback invaluable compared to those who already know your story! Step 1 (10 min): Read Why peer review? by Davis Oldham CLICK HERE Step 2-4 (15 min): You will need a copy of one of your college essays and the Peer and Self Review Form
Find a partner.
Find a space in either the classroom, in front of the library, or on the terrace to work with your partner/small group.
Step 5: (40 min) Taking your essay, a peer review packet, and a pencil/pen complete the following Peer Review Workshop process. Please keep in mind the article you read at the start of class:
Step 6 (10 min): Once you have reviewed each essay, head back to the classroom and on your own complete the Self-Assessment on the third page (front and back) of the packet. GIVE THIS TO MS. BOYD BY THE END OF CLASS- IT WILL COUNT AS A PROJECT GRADE. It will be returned to you on Friday for revisions. You will have time in class on Friday and Monday (10/4 and 10/7) to incorporate this feedback and edit your essay. You will complete this Peer Review Workshop again on Tuesday and Thursday (10/8 and 10/10) and will receive another project grade for this
