5th Grade Only: Biztown Interviews

Biztown interviews will be on Wednesday, January 8 from 9am to 12pm. Students should dress in professional attire for their interview and can bring a change of clothes to change into later if desired. 

Here are some practice Biztown interview questions I found when doing a google search:

1. Why are you applying for this job?
2. What skills do you have that qualify you for this job?
3. Describe any past experiences you have had doing something similar to this job?
4. What do you feel is your greatest strength that qualifies you for this job?
5. Describe some of the skills that are needed to be a good team member in this job?
6. What do you feel would be your greatest challenge for this job?
7. Why do you want this job? Is there a questions about this job that you would like to ask me? ***Suggestion: Do not say no to this last question. Always be ready to ask a question when they ask if you have any questions.
8. What school activities are you currently involved in?
9. Do you prefer working alone or with people?
10. How would your friends describe you?
11. Name someone you admire. What do you admire most about this person?

14. Are you dependable? Give me an example of your dependability.
15. Are you a leader? How have you demonstrated leadership in the past?
