Job Interviews

Job Interviews

During the second marking period, Mrs. Graybill’s Career and Consumer Science class has been learning about jobs, job interviews, resumes, thank you letters ,and much more. This class has taught us a lot about how we can help ourselves out in the future. Job interviews are something that everyone is going to have to go through in their life, whether they would like to admit it or not. There are a lot of things that go into getting ready for a job interview like you need to have the right paper work, the correct clothing attire, and  the appropriate handshake. We learned how to write  out a correct resume, cover letter, and even a thank you letter for having the opportunity to have an interview for the job. You may not realize how much work goes into each one of these papers. Even one thing incorrect could completely ruin your chance at a job. 


Not only did we learn about the importance of the paperwork, but we also learned how important your attire and handshake are. Your first impression is very important. Think about what you wear to school or work everyday. You probably wouldn’t be dressed appropriately for a job interview. When dressing for a job interview you need to wear professional attire. This includes dress slacks, dress, skirt, tights, suit and tie, and you have to make sure the colors you wear are not to bright. Your jewelry and tie needs to be subtle and appropriate. Now your handshake is also very important. A handshake can say a lot about a person. Your handshake needs to have your hand stretched out, a tight grip, but not too tight, and two to three shakes. If it's to hard, it can show that you are not friendly and aggressive and if to soft  it can show that you are insecure and shy. 

When going to a job interview, remember these important things and your job interview will go very well. Thank you Mrs. Graybill!
