CITA students doing individual interviews.
Last week CITA students participated in mock interviews. The mock interviews provided CITA students an opportunity to practice, receive feedback and improve their skills. The CITA mock interviews helped students develop interview strategies, enhance their communication skills, answer challenging questions, and ease the nerves that many experiences before an actual job interview. The following business, industry and CCSD employees volunteered to interview the CITA students:
Amanda Hilton - Cobb Spine & Rehab Arthur O'Neill - Cobb County School District Ben Bales - Dalton Automotive Cassidy Jones - Brasfield & Gorrie Daniel Toon - United Forming, Inc.

The mock interviews were facilitated by the CITA Work-Based Learning coordinator Ms. Shannon Shaw. Special thanks to Ms. Katie Hunt, OHS Work-Based Learning coordinator. About 320 CITA students were interviewed. 9th graders did a group interview and 10th -12th graders did a one-on-one interview. A HUGE thanks goes out to all of the business, industry and CCSD employees who volunteered to interview the students.
