Personal Experience : My Interview At High School

Students who are becoming freshmen often ask “what’s it like to be in high school?” High school is not what you think. Freshmen don’t get pushed in lockers, there's not that one popular girl who shoves other students books out of their hands, and the cafeteria is not the most embarrassing place to be. High school is not an amicable. If you really think high school is a amicable place where students smile at each other, think again. Here is some advice from my high school experience.

I’ve been in many different job interviews. Including the Georgina Leisure Pool. Where I applied for a Lifeguard, and Swim instructor position. I’ve also had an interview with Swiss Chalet where I applied for a waitressing position. Going into the interviews I was a bit nervous I’ve never been good at interviews, and pool interview was my first job ever. When I came to the interview at Swiss Chalet I was more hesitant then the pool interview because it was a new experience from me working in the food and beverage industry. I wasn’t sure of the questions that were going to be asked, and how I would respond to them.

For a few months, I turned in about 40 job applications. Retail, fast food, restaurants, etc. About three interviews in, I realized, that I was interviewing very poorly. I got advice from family and practiced a couple times. I had my fourth interview and it was a success. I got the job! Getting

When faced with having to find a job and then securing a job, the job interview has to be a home run! Simply submitting a professional resume and completing an application is not enough. You cannot settle for being average. You can wait for the next job opportunity, but there are no guarantees there will be one. In Piotrowski’s article, “Preparing for the Job Interview: Know Thyself,” she identifies the process of a job interview (Wyrick, 2014). The steps Piotrowski identified in her article are included below. The steps below focus on identifying job openings, researching companies, preparing for the interview: the pre-interview, the job interview, and the post-interview summary.

After graduating from Forsyth Country Day School, an academically, rigorous private school, I knew the real world or the real deal was coming to me and that was college. I wasn’t too worried about college because I knew my high school had prepared me good for college by my high school treating us as if we were at a university. We took college like classes; We even had a dress code. My high school had its own honor code that was took serious. It was a challenge that I conquered. My school was in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and I live in Ridgeway, Virginia. I managed to maintain A’s and B’s waking up at 6:10 a.m. just to get to school at 8:05 a.m. It was a hour drive down and a hour drive back. It was worth it as I can see now because it prepared me.

The first thing an interviewer wants to see is how confident you are. You can show them this by maintaining good body language, and answering

I began Mrs. Chambers’ interview with the first background question, like in the first two interviews, tell me about your educational experiences in school. Mrs. Chambers’ responded:

I never truly did have a high school experience, sure I had a dozen or so friends, but my relationships with them lacked depth. We may have seen each other on the weekends and laughed at each other’s jokes, but in the end it was entirely meaningless. We had almost nothing in common besides the fact that we attended the same school. The only reason I had made friends with them in the first place was simply out of necessity, after all, no one wants to be that kid that sits alone at the lunch table. Had we not become friends, each and every one of us would have been that kid.

Since we first entered the building of information we have been told that education will change our lives. People say that if you don't have a good education you will not be successful in life. A high school diploma many people feel satisfied with because they feel like they will not be able to go to college. On the other hand, a college degree can open many doors for you. Now I took the liberty of interviewing a very close person to me that did not go to college and asked him some questions about college.

The simple question had left me stumbling. I had expected to discuss my collegiate aspirations with the interviewer, but up until that exact moment, I never realized how difficult it would be to formulate a cogent response; my interests seemed too widespread and distinct to ever be integrated into a single pathway.

We’ve all been there, are palms are sweaty, are knees are rattling, and are words are fumblin, while the interviewer hits us with questions like a fastball. Many people cringe when they hear the word interview. A job interview is one of those things that can take the most confident man and rattle his bones. When we go to a job interview, we are expressing our interest in being compensated for our service if the employer deems us qualified. You have just a small window of time to elucidate why you should be picked over the other candidates waiting in the lobby. Preparation is key to landing a job. Make sure you study the company, and make sure you give yourself about a week or so to practice interview questions

As the seniors entered the room, I glanced over to see if my senior was present, and I was disappointed. Two groups formed, freshman and senior, and the room filled with laughter and nervousness, the latter mostly from the freshman. Then, Morales told everyone to pair up with their senior. I asked him what I should do, and he told me to interview the other senior that Ella was paired up with. Rebecca was surprised, but she turned her chair towards me and smiled all the same. We introduced ourselves with a small nod, and sat on the other side of the table she was previously seated at. The atmosphere around us was cluttered with the soft mutter of focused conversation. I handed the questions to her as I set up my iPad for the interview. As

On April 18th at Greene Central High School, I chose to interview one of our phenomenal counselors, Chris Campbell. When I confronted him and asked to interview him, he immediately accepted the offer. I chose to interview him for many reason. One reason being that working as a high school counselor definitely doesn’t seem like it’d be the easiest job in the world. High school is a very tough time in a teen’s life. It’s all focused on preparing you for the outside world and if we didn’t have people like Mr. Campbell, students wouldn’t have as much motivation as they do to do well and graduate. I also chose to interview him simply because I knew he would tell me everything I would need to know and more!

For many people change is full of stressful and not welcome. Not a lot of people handle change well. It’s difficult to make changes when you are uncertain of what you want to be doing. Life is full of changes that are big and small. Some changes are taken solely by yourself, and others with a group of family or friends. Life is very dynamic and it always will be.

When people start high school they’re usually so excited. They can’t wait to experience everything that comes with being in high school, I mean who wouldn’t? Everyone says that high school is the best four years of your life. Now that I’m months away from graduating, I can’t say they were my best years but I can say they were my most educational years, of course I wouldn’t say that they weren’t fun because they were. When I say educational, I mean I’ve learned so much about myself and so much about life. I learned what the words family, love, betrayal, law and life meant. All these events changed me, and I’m glad they happened because I wouldn’t have learned all these lessons. My personality hasn’t changed; I’m still a carefree girl,
