Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period
Today the Danger Shop was divided into two sections, a dressing room, with racks of clothing and an office set-up. "Job interviews," Oz began. "This is especially important for those of you who have graduation looming, thought maybe less so if your home universe is different in how you get work, but still some of this stuff will come in handy for you kids, trust me."
"The goal of most job interviews isn't to convince them you know how to do the job," he continued. "Hopefully you will have done a good enough job on your resume and cover letters, and writing those is a different skill entirely, that they will already believe this, hence the interview. No, the point of a job interview is to sell yourself as a potential member of the company in question, prove you'll fit in with the office environment, and that your aforementioned C.V.s aren't full of lies."
"So we're going to do mock interviews today, you're going to pick an appropriate outfit, familiarise yourselves with some of the provided advice, then spilt into pairs and take turns roleplaying as interviewer and interviewee."
[go ahead!]
