Job Interviews - Trinity, Kelli, Kiara, & Julie

4/26/2019

0 Comments

 
For job interviews you have to:
  • Have a resume
  • Have good hygiene
  • Dress professionally
  • Shake the interviewers hand
  • Not chew gum
  • Have a positive attitude
  • Smile
  • Have eye contact
  • Not have your phone out
  • Be prepared to answer questions
  • Talk about your references
  • Talk about your work and/or volunteer history
  • Try not say uh, um, yeah, like
  • Not fidget
  • Have good posture
  • Try not to be affected by things that happened before the interview

Some of us were nervous and some of us were confident. We all felt more comfortable the second day.

Kiara: It was harder when they asked me questions that I didn't prepare for. I think I did pretty well for my first mock interview ever. Now I understand what I have to do for a real interview. 

Julie: I feel more confident now after practicing. The hard part is waiting to hear from them afterwards. In the past I would bug the employer and now I will wait.

Kelli: My interviewers said that I have improved from my first interview. I felt like I did really well with Christina because I was able to laugh.

Trinity: Overall, I was really nervous for the first mock interview but I did better than expected. I like how every interviewer was with me.

Hygiene and professionalism- Kiara, Trinity, Kelly and Julie

0 Comments

 
We were picking out stuff that we use for our hygiene. We did it on our own without asking for help. We didn't ask for help from the people working there, so that we could be as independent as possible.

Communication-Trinity

2/15/2019

0 Comments

 
​               Types of Communication

  1. Verbal communication- using your voice or gestures to communicate with someone
  2. Non-Verbal communication- using facial expressions or body language
  3. Written communication-text messaging, letters, social media
  4. Visual communication- pictures, emoji’s, gifs
  5. Aural communication-Sighing, mouth noises, hand noises
 
When communication is misunderstood  

 
Sometimes, when we communicate in any sort of way with our body or facial expressions they tend to get misunderstood and we have to correct that person to let them know that what we’re doing isn’t intentionally rude. It’s just something we sometimes do.

Self-Advocacy - Trinity

2/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Self Advocacy is the right to speak up for yourself and the rights that you have. Children, Teenagers, and  Young adults who struggle with disabilities whether it would be a physical or mental disability are hard to cope with on a daily basis and those who struggle with said disabilities are given therapy and special ed classes to help them cope with them. But just because they may be different from other people it does not mean that they cannot live like normal individuals. Because they too deserve equal rights to everyone else.
