On Thursday January 14, 2010 Students enrolled in Career Advantage at the Island Trees High School took part in mock job interviews. Eighty of the eleventh and twelfth grade students came to the Long Island Marriot and went through the difficult process of interviewing for a skilled job.  These practice interviews prepared students for the real life challenge of maneuvering through the interview process. The students had the experience of dressing for an interview, preparing a resume, and actually being interviewed.  It was an invaluable experience for the Career Advantage students of Island Trees High School.  How many people have the opportunity to practice interviewing?  This grant, provided by Astoria Federal Bank, allows the Island Trees students this opportunity with no cost to the district. The Island Trees School District is the only school participating in this worthwhile event.

Thanks to the excellence of our teaching professionals headed by Carol Siegel the students will build upon a skill that will land them the career of their dreams. The Island Trees students are prepared to take on any challenge they may face.
