Students had a taste of reality, or at least anxiety, as they interviewed for their dream jobs at Decker Lake Youth Center.
The practice interviews were the culminating activity of the financial literacy unit in Todd’s math classes and followed a month’s worth of preparation for life after the Lake. With resumes and cover letters in hand, residents were interviewed for jobs for which they applied (in practice).
Students said the practice helped build their confidence to interview for jobs.
