Practicing job-application skills should include
- completing manual and electronic application forms
- providing a résumé, references, and samples of work.
Practicing interview skills may be performed in a mock interview, in which students play a variety of roles to illustrate desirable behavior (e.g., maintaining eye contact, speaking with confidence, asking informed questions).
Process/Skill Questions:
- What key elements are required to complete a job application?
- What types of behavior are undesirable in an interview?
- How might one conduct research about a company in preparation for an interview?
- What attire is appropriate for a job interview?
- What questions might an interviewee prepare for an interview?
- When is it appropriate to discuss salary/wage?
