Interviews!

Some extra things about interviews!
Be sure to:
-Have a reason of why this job is so essential to you. Make sure you look up the place thats hiring have some knowledge on their whereabouts. Make it seem like this is the only job in the world and everyone wants it. But dont look too desperate.

-What was your favorite "college course"? Obviously in class we are faking our degrees, but research the courses you have to take and talk about which one interests you the most.

-Obvioulsy identify your strengths. But relate it to your job. Showing your weaknesses will probably leave a bad impression. If you necesarily do mention any weaknesses make it a joke, and be sure to state how you resolved your problem. Like (dont worry about it now i am much more mature, or my first experiences working were the best, but thank God im more professional now.)

-Also talk about how you work with other people. How good of a leader you are, and your patience.

-Discuss an event that caused you to go beyond your normal responsibilities and show your willing to make the extra effort.

-Dont make the whole interview about your salary, benefits, and vacation days. Show that its the job you want not the extras. But of course we all want the money.

Also question the interviewer on how everyday working their will be:
Like
What he exepcts from you? What does a normal day of work look like?How does a busy day look? Seem concerned with how you have to adapt to everyday life at your HOPEFULLY new job. Make sure you know what your getting into before you get into it.

LAW DAY CLASS PROJECT

Hi everyone,

As per every year, law day is around the corner and I have been duly instructed to begin preparing our class for law day.
The Topic: Wounded Warriors: For those for whom the war never ends
Focus: political, social, economic treatment of American Veterans of War. Case Study comparing Vietnam to Iraqi/Afghani Vets
Program: Each grade will design a presentation based on criteria
11th grade: focus on the economic benefits rewarded to veterans, comparing Vietnam to present war veterans. ie - lack of funding of VA hospitals, pensions, disability benefits (PTSD benefits, etc.).

*As you have already participated in two law days, I want to use this blog thread for us to talk about/suggest ways we can make a presentation out of our assigned task, be it a skit, powerpoint, role-play (which I guess is a skit), etc. it should be entertaining and informative.

So please post with your suggestions.

In addition: a two to four typed page typed paper will be MONDAY APRIL 20TH, that will answer the question: To what extent has the economic benefits rewarded to veterans changed from Vietnam Veterans to Iraq War Veterans. Cite at least three sources and give specific details - You must discuss at least THREE of the following: PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) benefits, other disability benefits, Funding for VA hospitals, pensions, health care, medical care, etc. ! I will provide a rubric on Monday 4/6.
