At the beginning of the fall semester, about 450 seniors at Whitney High School in Rocklin participated in mock interviews to learn the valuable skills needed to enter the workforce. They learned how to prepare a resume and cover letter, participated in an interview class and completed a 20-minute mock interview.
“The mock interviews are all about reducing anxiety, getting that practice and building confidence,” says guidance counselor Patrick Floyd, who coordinates the program. “How many of us get the chance to practice before the first professional interview in our life?”
