Farmington Hills April 28, Beginning Job Seekers.
I show only 30 seconds out of 2.5 minutes of Lucy & Ethel apply for a job at an Employment Agency. When asked "What kind of a job are you looking for?" Lucy replies "What kinds of jobs do you have open?" It goes back and forth like that several times. Finally the frustrated Agent says, " Now look ladies, I can't hire you unless you tell me what you can do." Then he starts reading down a list asking them if they can do this, or this, or that and each time they just look puzzled and shake their heads, no. This 30 seconds confirms what the groups has already learned from a Quiz on what 1,000 employers considered the #1 important thing in an interviewer (even though the other things on the list are also very important). The clip confirmed that Verbalization of Skills is the foundation for finding a job. The clip adds some laughter and fun to the class. |
