Career Center specialists at Issaquah High School are looking for community members to help interview seniors to fulfill a graduation requirement before they’re given their diplomas.
The interviews are 10 minutes long and will be held at the Issaquah School District’s administration building, 565 N.W. Holly St. Students will discuss their post high school plans, the work they’ve completed to get to graduation and what they hope to do in the next five to 10 years.
Interviewers will fill out short feedback forms for each interview.
Interviewers will have a short training session prior to interviewing students, given by the school’s career specialists.
Panelists are needed from 7:15-10 a.m. Dec. 2, 9 and 16. Parents of graduating students should refrain from volunteering, as the activity should mimic real interview experiences where students don’t know their interviewers.
