Sweetwater Enterprise for Economic Development (SEED), Sweetwater Chamber of Commerce, Texas State Technical College West Texas (TSTC), Sweetwater business community, and the Sweetwater Independent School District (SISD), hosted a two day event called “Senior Interview Day.” These two days were designed to assist graduating seniors in their interview skills. Individuals from SEED, the Chamber, SISD, TSTC, Lawrence Management, John S. Young Attorney at Law, Rolling Plains Rural Health Clinic, Sweetwater Electrical Construction & Maintenance Inc., Skeet’s Texas Grill, Ludlum’s and Elene Harger, participated in the event.
The project was organized and coordinated by Kirstin Smith, Assistant Marketing Director and Administrative Director for SEED. “The purpose of the project was to allow graduating seniors one last learning opportunity before they go out and apply for a job” stated Smith. The project included all graduating seniors from SHS and included interview skills and building their resumes. Smith also stated, “Without the help of the business community, we could not have pulled this off.”
Some of the statements from the students were, “The interview gave good insight into what to expect in a real life interview,” “Thanks for taking time out of your day, the practice will come in handy,” and “Thank you so much for a great learning experience.”
The two day event was a great success due to Rebecca Duncan, Chris Wigington, Kirstin Smith and many Sweetwater volunteers. Maybe it does take a village to raise a child! If that is true, Sweetwater knows how to do it. |
