Blue Ridge High Holds Interview Workshop

Recently, TREHAB, in collaboration with Blue Ridge High School, conducted a workshop on Student Interview Readiness for seniors. During the workshop under the direction of teacher Laura Irwin, Jim Walters, Job Developer, and Joan Mazikewich, Case Manager from TREHAB in Great Bend, demonstrated to the youth some common interview questions, and emphasized how not to act during an interview. They explained that proper attire and grooming are two very important issues for the person being interviewed.

During the Student Interview Readiness workshop, Blue Ridge senior Jennifer Haynes holds a mock interview with TREHAB Job Developer Jim Walters.

The seniors learned that an interviewer can look for many different things during this important job application meeting. How one conducts oneself during an interview can greatly impact the outcome of the application process.

Students also gained knowledge in the areas of: the definition of an interview, preparation for the interview including the résumé, questions to ask the interviewer, the importance of researching the background of the company, and to be aware of illegal questions.

TREHAB appreciated the support of Blue Ridge High School and the participation of the students in this successful workshop which lasted for two class periods of seniors.

Funding for this TREHAB program is provided by the Northern Tier Regional Planning and Development Commission.
