Nailed It!: KTC Students Participate in Mock Interview #2

This past week, the students at KTC participated in their second mock interviews.  The students used the feedback sheets from the interviews in their first interviews to help them understand what they could do better and as a class, we talked about what not to say, brainstormed answer options, and composed our responses into complete sentences.

KTC also had businesses and organizations participate in our second round of interviews.  In the first round of interviews, we mainly had Kent ISD staff  and KSSN staff assist in interviewing our students.  In these second round of interviews, we had businesses that were excited to participate with our school to give our students this real life experience.

Some of the businesses and organization who participated were:

Valvoline Instant Oil Change (3 personnel)
Grand Rapids Building Services
The Waterworks Car Wash
D&W (SpartanNash)
Custom Profile
Kent ISD (Custodial department--2 personnel)
West Michigan Works! (3 personnel)
KSSN


Some of the KISD staff who volunteered to interview students were:

Kim Westdorp
Dena Harris
Amy Pierce
Craig Steenstra
Meghan Aupperlee
Marla Salmon
Linda Nawrocki
Tim Peraino
Ryan VanderMolen



This year, more than one student from every class impressed the interviewers!  Even more exciting, I was told by 3 different interviewers of 3-4 students that they would love to hire based on what they saw and heard in the interviews!


It was such a great week and it was so beneficial for our students.  Thank you to all who participated and made this a great real-life learning experience for our students.
