Mock Interviews with CTE Students
March 30 | 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | Goochland High School

Join Goochland High School in conducting mock interviews of seniors as well as students who have completed a sequence of CTE courses. A total of about 250 students will be interviewed; Goochland High School will supply all interview questions, and simply ask that interviewers provide feedback to students on their resume, soft skills, etc. GHS will do their best to match students with a business partner who represents the career interest of the student.

How does this benefit you?

Building a talent pipeline begins with relationships.  When you participate, your company is visible to a community of jobseekers. This is an opportunity to establish your organization as one who is seeking new team members, as well as to make your company (and the industry as a whole) one that jobseekers should consider.
