Southborough Recreation is offering a course for teens that may be planning to seek their first job or an important internship. To prepare for interviews this spring, Rec is offering a class led by an expert in protocol and etiquette. It takes place a week from today.
The Rec website points out:
Interviewing can be challenging for students especially when they haven’t interviewed before. However, putting one’s best foot forward during an interview is a critical step towards landing a great job during high school, and a valuable skill to develop for the future. Parents, think back to your first job interview. Did you know what to expect or say? Interviewing can be a stressful experience for teens whether they are looking for their first job or going to their first college interview.
The Workshop promises to teach:
self-presentation skills and important talking points to help succeed at an interview. Topics Include: what to do before the interview, know your resume, your elevator pitch, dressing for success, how to make a good first impression, common interview questions, questions you can ask, and more.
The offering is for students in grades 8-12. It will be held on Tuesday, March 29th 4:00 – 5:30 pm at the Southborough Senior Center. The charge is $75.
The course will be run by Nikki Sawhney, the Director and Founder of the New England School of Protocol. Her website bio describes her as:
