Community supports Seymour High School senior mock interviews

November 7, 2024

From Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, 286 Seymour High School seniors participated in mock interviews with local business professionals.

Once the school submitted the names, career interests and availability of the seniors, JCIDC grouped them into categories and found people in the community who work in their field of interest to interview them.

In all, 60 business professionals conducted the interviews during the weeklong effort.

They reviewed each student’s résumé on their Chromebook, asked them questions and filled out an evaluation form to give them feedback. This was a great opportunity for the students to gain experience so they are ready for an interview in the real world, and it was beneficial for the interviewers because they relate to the students, make connections and discover future employees in their field.
