Those seniors who were scheduled for a Mock Interview with Gavin Schnieder - please recheck your schedule. Some adjustments were made due to his cancellation.

Interview Tip #9 - Send thank-you notes. Write a thank-you note after every interview. Type each note on paper or send them by email, depending on the interviewers’ preferences. Customize your notes by referring specifically to what you and the interviewer discuss; for example, “I was particularly excited about [or interested by, or glad to hear] what you said about [fill in the blank]. Handwritten notes might be better if you’re thanking a personal contact for helping you in your job search. Whatever method you choose, notes should be sent within 48 hours of the interview.
To write a good thank-you note, you’ll need to take time after each interview to jot down a few things about what the interviewer said. Also, write down what you could have done better in the interview, and make adjustments before you head off for your next interview.
Today all seniors remember to go to the library to write your thank-you letter after your Mock Interview!

Look for an email for another episode of the bulldog newscast today.

Thank you and have a great day!

Interview Tip #8 - Bring a copy of your resume with you when you go to every interview. If the interviewer has misplaced his or her copy, you’ll save a lot of time (and embarrassment on the interviewer’s part) if you can just pull your extra copy out and hand it over. Remember - you should have stopped in the guidance office to print your resume copies off on good paper before Mock Interviews tomorrow. If you have not done this yet, please stop in the guidance to complete this task.

Due to "senior mock interviews", the library will be closed all day tomorrow.
