Job Fair
Aaron
Job FairWe went to job fair today at Brookline College. We talked to employers like Jim Click Automotive and Sears. We also talked to Walmart, Pima Community College, and FedEx. I learned that you have to be 18 or older to work at Walmart. You also have to be at least 18 to work at FedEx and be able to lift. FedEx has a warehouse near the Airport and they offer three pay increases within the first six months of employment. FedEx has interested candidates attend a sort observation at their warehouse so you can see what the job will be like. La Paloma let us know that even though they have some seasonal jobs, if you work hard you may be able to find a permanent position to be promoted into.

Mock InterviewsThis week we are doing Mock Interviews. Mock Interviews are a chance to practice answering questions in an interview. We go over the 15 most common questions asked. If you do Mock Interviews it will help you be more confident and comfortable in a real interview. They are easy for me now because I have done a few. I still get nervous and still need to practice how I am going to answer some questions. Each time I get better!

Aaron The Garden KitchenToday we went to visit the Garden Kitchen. It was fun to look at the different plants. We saw tomatoes, okra, and beans in the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse it was pretty hot! I did not know how beans grew before I saw the plants.

Aaron Being a Peer MentorBeing a Peer Mentor is different because I help my peers and the Teacher. If someone needs help with an activity, I am there to assist. I am learning to be more patient and to not take things personally. It can be hard sometimes but I am getting better because I keep trying and I make sure I talk to the Teacher about how I am feeling. I am trying to make sure that I am a good role model for my peers. That can be a lot of pressure but I am gaining skills on how to cope.
