My first blog is about strategies for teaching interviews in Communication Applications class. I have begun teaching this in my own class and have run into a few questions, as well as some interesting sites and videos that help explain the importance of a good interview!
I showed a few video clips but my students seemed to really enjoy this scene!
This is from the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" and it shows the main character interviewing for a job. My students were able to pick out the good and bad attributes of his interview and determine some possible other responses that he should have used. They also talked about his outfit and what he should have worn for a proper interview.
We talked in depth about appropriate attire for interviews. We searched some websites to find examples of the clothing, hair, and makeup that was appropriate for their age group (9th graders getting a 1st job!) and this website was very helpful for them. Check it out!
Hi, I just wanted to comment on your blog. I enjoyed the scene that you showed of "Pursuit of Happyness". This was an excellent video choice to teach students about job interviewing. I also have a blog about job interviews so I found this very helpful. :)
