Whether it’s a mock interview or an actual interview, opportunities can happen.

That proved true for a Dawson County Schools CTAE student. Dawson County incorporates Rubin’s Emerge curriculum for employability skills into its CTAE curriculum. Students use Emerge units for job interview prep, resumes, cover letters, email etiquette and more.

Dawson County Schools held a day when employers from the community visited the school to help students practice job interviews. One employer, who manages an insurance company, was so impressed with a particular student’s poise and maturity during the interview, that he hired her for an administrative position on the spot.

Mind you, the experience was a mock interview. There was no initial plan for job offers.

The student’s job interview performance speaks to the high-quality instruction students receive through Rubin Emerge.

Kristy Moore, the work-based learning coordinator in Dawson County, believes Emerge made the difference during the mock interview.
