What Employers Say When we have applicants right out of high school

with little work experience, we look for experience related to high school projects and presentations. Did the job applicant get up and give a speech in class? That counts with us.

We know that students don’t have much job experience, so we look for a good work record and good ethics even in high school.

We look for people who are active as volunteers in their schools and communities. We want to see lots of teamwork and life experiences.

The “I Message” Formula “I feel …(upset, disappointed, unfairly

treated…) …when you…(what the other person does

that bothers you) …because…(give your reasons) …and what I want you to do is…(how you

would like the other person to act).”
