Vocabuary Review

3
Six essential qualities are the key to success
sincerity, personal integrity, humility,
courtesy, wisdom, charity. - William Menninger
4
Do you agree with this statement?

• Why or why not?

5
How would you define success?
6
Today you will have a chance to show these
qualities of integrity, humility, courtesy,
wisdom, and charity as you participate in a mock
job interview.
7
Lets define our terms

• Integrity
• Being as good as your word
• Humility
• Give credit to others if they helped you
• Courtesy
• Showing good manners
• Wisdom
• Smartness that comes from experience
• Charity
• Being generous and giving back to others

8
Lets not forget honesty!

• Honesty has a special term in business. Its
  called business ethics. Ethics are the standard
  that help determine what is good, right, and
  proper.

9
Its important to show all these qualities in a
job interview.

• A job interview is a meeting between employer and
  a job applicant. The employer finds out whether
  the applicant is suitable (a good match) for
  the job.

10

• Applicant means someone who is looking for a
  job. They request or seek employment.

11
The key component to a strong interview is the
handshake.
12
Its important to make eye contact and have a
firm grip.
13
A firm handshake and a greeting set the tone for
the interview.
14
Lets practice giving a greeting and a firm
handshake.
15
One of the most important things you can do to
prepare for an interview is to think ahead. What
questions might the interviewer ask you?

• (You can probably guess many of the most common
  questions.)

16
Turn to pages 58 and 59 in your workbook Making
the Right Impression. These are some of the
questions an interviewer might ask. What would
your answers be?
17
Its time to try out these answers on a practice
interview. Meet in groups of three. One person is
the interviewer, one is the applicant, and one
person evaluates. Use page 60 to mark your
evaluation. Take turns.
18
Practice makes perfect! Knowing what is going to
be asked helps you to be friendly, focused and
confident. Please complete the Word Map on page
61 when you are done.
19
Tomorrow, during Junior Achievement, you will be
called down to the media center for an interview.
This is your chance to make a great impression!
Dress appropriately and practice your interview
skills tonight. Good Luck!
