Brought to you by your local DECA chapter!
Every Senior at DHS had the opportunity to participate in a mock interview on April 30, 2013. Local business people and area leaders donated their time so our seniors could have a "real experience." Students had a 10 minute interview based on their resumes and their transferable skills. The interview was followed by a five minute constructive critique with their interviewer on things that they could do to improve and to discuss the positives from the interview. Each student also received a formal evaluation from their interviewer.
