Muskego Students Attend Mock Interviews for the Real World
Face to face with local businesses, students hone interviewing skills to prepare for the "real deal" in the future
Thirty two of the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce businesses conducted mock interviews with nearly 90 seniors in the Muskego High School School-to-Work program on March 26th. This endeavor provided students with valuable skills and insight.
The mock interviews helped to provide the necessary tools for their future success as well as provided students with an opportunity to practice for an interview and receive real life feedback.
