BOCES holds annual Job Readiness Fair
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – BOCES students held mock job interviews with dozens of local companies, to get ready for the real thing.
Wednesday was BOCES' annual Job Readiness Fair.
Students bring their resumes and talk with local job seekers about what it takes to get into their line of work. Some of the local businesses included Visions, the Rumble Ponies, Weis, Raymond, and others. It's a chance for the students to get real interview experience and hear constructive criticism from the interviewers themselves.
Student Unique Wood says the job fair helped her become more confident in her interviewing skills, like eye contact and holding a conversation.
'Even with this not being an actual, real job setting, it still has the same effects of it I guess I'd say. You still want to again, have that confidence, you still want to talk to them the same way, treat them the same way. Treat them as if you were going in there like you're getting a job. Like you're going there to win a job,' said Wood.
Wood says she interviewed with Visions and Weis markets and both went well.
The employers setup displays, sharing information about their careers and the education and training you need to get there.
