The objective of this learning experience is to provide life-skills lessons for students to experience and understand the process of applying and interviewing for a job so they know what to expect when it happens in real life.

Fifteen businesses participated as interviewers and 110 students were interviewed.  The students wrote a cover letter and attached their resume in application for the mock-interview for one of the many positions on offer from business participants.  The interviews were held at CHHS from 9:30 am – 11:30 am.
