Job Interview and Specific Topic
Exercise 1:
1. Yes, History of animal testing in medical research labs would apply to a two-to-three page paper.
2. No, the effectiveness of bilingual education programs will not be appropriate for a two hour final exam.
3. No, it would not be appropriate for a one hour in class essay.
4. A discussion of my school’s policy on plagiarism would be appropriate for an email to the college newspaper.
Exercise 2:
1. No, I approach them differently. I talk to my friends casually and say slang things and with a professor or boss I would speak more formal and appropriately.
2. What I’m doing Saturday night is not in my professor’s interest as to my best friend asking me.
3. If I were to speak about “Taking a year off before college” my main audience would be high school seniors about to graduate. I would tell them it’s not a good idea and it’s best to fresh after high school. I would speak similar to professional people.

2. Substance abuse
i. The effects of dangerous substances ii. How to approach it iii. How to prevent it
Exercise 5:
First Impressions are always important when it comes to job interviews. You should always try to be relaxed and confident. Don’t have your hands in your pockets or have your head down when you approach the supervisor. A bold smile and direct eye contact is a good first impression to me. Although sometimes I get nervous myself I stay confident and what not. Some supervisors have a handshake in the beginning of the interview and I feel it’s important to use an appropriate amount of strength (at least if it’s a man that’s not a senior citizen) when shaking hands. Sit up straight and not slouched over or relaxed laid back.
