Career Unit and Interview
This unit directly applies to the real world because at some point you will interview for a job! The
“speech” at the end of this unit will be an individual interview. You will choose your career and research
the profession using Career Cruising.
Directions: Throughout the course of the next two weeks, please highlight in YELLOW what grade you
have earned in each of the categories. You will turn this in on the day of your interview; be prepared
to discuss your self-assessment as far as your participation goes. The interview rubric is on the back
side of this; be sure to check it out before the day of your interview!
