She discussed the necessity of professional behavior like eye contact, a firm handshake, timeliness, and preparation.Last week, several community leaders visited campus to conduct mock interviews. Represented were Red River Valley REA, Family Shelter of Southern Oklahoma, Mercy Love County, and SouthernTech.“We are so grateful to have these community leaders and businesses who are willing to support our school system and our students,” Neble stated.Although the students believed they were doing “practice” interviews, in both years that Neble has conducted the project, a few students have actually been hired by their interviewers for part-time or summer jobs.“The kids were not expecting to be hired for a real job,” smiled Neble. “They just thought they were sitting in interviews for a grade in English IV. But if one or 50 of these students leave my class with a paying job, a career future, or even just the skill set to enter the world, then I believe the project was successful.”</div></body>
