Students Participate In Mock Interviews

Over 60 tenth grade students from Blue Ridge High School participated in a mock interview on January 7, as the culmination to the mandatory “Keys to Career” class that is part of their senior project.

For the past four years, personnel from several area businesses have volunteered to conduct these semi-annual “real-life” simulations that give most of the students their first taste of interviewing.

The “Keys to Careers” class is a one-semester course that enables students to investigate their personal interests and skills, and to take those results to research related career fields and the necessary education and training required to excel in the workforce.

Coordinating the “mock interviews” is a substantial undertaking, but Blue Ridge Business education faculty members Brian Lewis and Joe Conigliaro feel the experience and insight the students gain is immeasurable. Both Lewis and Conigliaro try to teach a process that the students can use as a template as their interests and options change throughout their adult lives.

All of this could not happen without the help and cooperation of a lot of people and without the support of the Blue Ridge Administration and School Board.

Area businesses who have participated over the years include Peoples National Bank, Barnes-Kasson Hospital, Susquehanna County Library, New Milford Hardware, Northeast Exposure, and The Susquehanna Transcript.
