Local Businesses Volunteer to Help Students
| On November 17 and 18, Windsor-area businesses volunteered to assist High School Marketing students by conducting mock interviews. These interviews were a culmination of a job skills unit in which students learned about business attitude, resumes, cover letters, job applications and interviewing techniques. Business volunteers conducted a 10-minute mock interview with each student. The anxious students had a taste of what an actual interview feels like. For many, this was their first interview experience. Ryan Chambers, a Marketing One student, commented, "Having real businesspeople here made me more nervous for the interview, but I'm glad I did it." Other students commented that they feel they are now better prepared to take on a real interview and are very thankful for the mock experience in class. The interviewers were: Luke Smith & Pan Chhun of Aetna Capital Management West Hartford Chris Watts of Andrea Obston Marketing Communications Bloomfield Jon Calkins of Calkins Financial Services Windsor Beth Connor of Community Health Resources Windsor Bonnie Smith of the Eastern Highlands Health District Mansfield Harry Freeman of HD2 Development Windsor Don Jepsen of Jepsen Consulting Group Windsor Jim Mason, formerly of CIGNA Windsor Laura Soll-Broxterman of Laura Soll Public Relations Windsor John Webber of the Law Office of Cori-Lynn Webber Windsor Shannon Rabbett of Rabbett Insurance Agency Windsor Jim Martin & John Schnabel of Sagemark Consulting Windsor Jane Garibay of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce Windsor Janice Kelley of Windsor Federal Savings Windsor For additional information, Contact: Kate Weaver, Windsor High School, 860.687.2020 Ext. 440, Fax: 860.687.2029, cweaver@windsorct.org. |
