Practice Interview Day

Practice Interviews with Special Guests!

Volunteers Share Stories with Students

Thursday, February 15th, students practiced their interview and equipment skills. Floyd County High School welcomed two guest volunteers into the Video and Media Technology Class. These guests came to share their stories so that the students could gain experience in a real interview. The class was divided into two groups to get work done. Each group has a set of roles to fulfill, just as on the day of the interview. 

Students interview Linda Laplante

Linda Laplante was one of the guests that agreed to sit in for a practice interview. From Maryland originally, she moved to Floyd County and was immediately welcomed. She shared her dream of living a "back-to-nature lifestyle" and how Floyd County became the place that offered the welcoming community she was looking for. (Pictured above right)

Students interview Brittany Quesenberry

The second guest was a familiar name and face to the students, Ms. Brittany Quesenberry who is the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Director and Assistant Principal for the high school. Ms. Quesenberry shared a bit about her family, work, and home life.   (Pictured above)
Aside from learning about our special guests, the students learned the process of setting up and interviewing for Interview Day. Since it was a practice day all around we had a discussion on what "constructive criticism" means, and how it can be beneficial. The high school students were very open and understanding when it came time to work through the commentary the class collected.
