In preparation for the Lockheed visit tomorrow, we’re going to pretend like they are coming for a job interview (they’re not here for looking for interns just to make sure we're all on the same page, but let’s pretend). Often times in an interview what makes a candidate stand out in an interview is not their GPA, work experience, or credentials, but it is the soft-skills you display during an interview and how you present yourself as being a potential employee who is genuinely interested in learning and growing in the company and not just someone who is showing up to the interview "just because." This is especially true for new hires right out of HS/College or who are looking for an internship as you will not have 10+ years of professional working experience and references. So, with this in mind, we are going to go through some of the preparatory research which you should do for any interview you have in your life.
Fill out the following form before the end of the day and turn it in. You can either complete it on a computer and then print it out (print double-sided please) or I have some paper copies you can write on. Assignment to complete: interviewresearch_lockheed.docx

You know the drill from last week: fill out this Sprint planning for this week and then expect a debrief at the end of the week: https://goo.gl/forms/sfDpSUJq4nJKCkYa2
While you are planning on what you want to get done this week, know that employees from Lockheed Martin will be visiting our classroom this Wednesday, 2/27. I do not anticipate this taking the entire class period, but it theoretically could if you have many questions for them or would like to spend time talking to them one on one. Fill out the following Google Form to see how you did in accomplishing your SMART goal we set at the beginning of this week's sprint.
https://goo.gl/forms/dVcsHl6PAnzaeyMC2 I hope you all have a good break and I look forward to seeing you all in 9 days! With the lulls before the break about to hit, I thought it would be a good idea to stay motivated with a one week sprint! If you are unfamiliar with what a sprint is, it is a common startup company term where a team will set short (1 or 2 weeks) term goals which each different team member should be focusing on.
We will make SMART goals (if you aren't familiar with these, see the image below or come ask me and we will talk about what this means) to start the week and then end the week with an evaluation on how we met those goals. Meet with your team and fill out the Google form linked below. I expect them to be very similar between teammates (especially regarding the team's priorities), but everyone should submit their own and have their own SMART goal. When the week is over, we will have a debrief of how we did. Google Form to fill out: https://goo.gl/forms/gSEfig5w5vxdkutu2 |
