{ Applications, Resumes and Interviews How to Land the Job!

All of us will be seeking employment at some time in our lives. Applications are EVERYWHERE! Can you think of a few that you’ll be doing in the future? Interviews will happen throughout your life. What are some examples? We need the skills to be competitive in the world of work.

 Mock Job Interviews will be held on Tuesday, May 19 during your English class. All 9 th graders will participate.  You will present an application and resume at your interview, which will be reviewed by your interviewer. We will work on those today.  You will dress appropriately for a job interview.  You will receive feedback from the interviewer and a test grade from your English teacher, comprised of the following: Quality of Resume and Application Appropriate Dress and Demeanor for an Interview Interview Skills OK, What’s Involved?

 Business professionals from the community  Davis School District administrators  Adults you do not know (no parents or teachers) Who Are the Interviewers?

 Training on resumes and applications today.  Training on interview skills and attire during English class on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 5 (Barney) and May 6 (Richardson, Hatch, Johnson)  Resumes and applications due to English teacher on Wednesday, May 13  Live interviews during your English class on Tuesday, May 19 (with resume and application) Teacher distribute handouts NOW. Just the facts….

It’s All About 1 st Impressions

 Documents should be clean, unfolded.  Consider maintaining and presenting them in a folder to keep them safe.  Handwritten application MUST be clear and legible.  Blue or black ink.  No cross-outs or white-out messes.  If you are worried about errors, use an erasable pen.  If your writing is illegible, ask someone else to fill out the form, and you sign it. NEATNESS COUNTS!

 Spelling, grammar and punctuation errors make a negative impression and will probably keep you from being interviewed.  You are writing a formal document, not texting your friends. Use capital letters and standard abbreviations or spell out words fully.  Don’t expect the employer to “look it up” (addresses, phone numbers, etc.) They won’t! Spelling and Punctuation

 Resume and application should be consistent – skills, experience, education, references.  Use the same references on both documents.  Avoid silly addresses Consider having a generic (boring) for education and business purposes  Hiring a new employee is serious business for employers. Show them you are serious, too. Business-Like Documents

 Read through application carefully before you begin.  Complete in blue or black ink.  Do not leave blank blocks. Print NA or Not Applicable when appropriate.  Note the references specifically request a personal, teacher and work reference. All must be adults (over 22), not related to you. Use school address for the teachers.  Print or use block letters. Sign in cursive.  Keep it neat, clean and unfolded. Application Standards

 Try to keep it all on one page; absolute maximum is two pages.  Use language that everyone understands; avoid terms, abbreviations and acronyms that relate to a specific organization or field.  Provide only the most important information; the interviewer will ask for more in person.  Resume should be balanced and easy to read – lots of white space on the page. Resume Standards

How would you rate your first impression? Now look at your work…
