   WBL INTERVIEW  In this WBL workshop, we practiced our interview skills. We were seated in a circle, with two seats at the center where the interviewer and the interviewee would sit and everyone would watch and learn from what they did right and what they did wrong.  The people that were going to interview us are staff members of the school. first we were put into a group of 10 in which one staff member would interview one of us. Then the next person would go and this would last for 3 min each.

Career day was when colleges and universities came to our school and showed what they have to offer and gave us papers and other things for us to consider in the future when we start to fill out our application for college. We were dressed and professionally and went to the went to different stations that were there. There were multiple stations where you could talk to the college representatives and there requirements to get in. There were people from the military, people who were talking about interning and support programs like ASAP. They showed us what careers they offered and what would be better for us to apply in/for, after asking for what we wanted to major in. This helped me and guided me during my senior year since I got to see many colleges at the same time, which helped me find what colleges i wanted to apply for ad what colleges i didn't

Guest speaker

The guest speaker who came in to talk to us was  Andrew Otto, who worked at Wikipedia. His job was the back end of the website, so he can control the functionality of the community editing the website. We were able to ask Mr.Otto some questions based from his work place. We got some answers from his background and how he got to where he is right now. We should donate to Wikipedia since it's usually where we look at first.

Seminar

In this seminar on August 17, 2018 we had our final day to the internship and the program overall. What we did first in the seminar was to recap everything that we learned about working in the city and in office buildings. We also had to present some of our ideas from the other section of CTESS called Youth Think Tank. This was a little hard to tackle, because we had some of the other students from the other school judging our ideas while giving some feedback. The seminar also included some information that we should remember for the future of our career. I believe there were some information on college. Overall, that was the final seminar for me.

Power skill- Interview

Which kind of job applicant do you want to be? Why?   In the first video, The interviewee was not understanding the questions that the interviewer was asking. Because of this, she couldn't answer the question to the best she can and the answer had nothing to do with the question. She was unprepared and should of practiced at least prior to the interview. In the second video, the interviewee was spot on with the interview. She give her answers with meaning and shows her strength and weaknesses. These are the aspects that the interviewer are looking for. Also when she didn't understand the question, she asked to specify the question. The first person should learn from the second.
