For my first ever
assignment on the Honors Mentorship Program, I had to listen to a podcast and
read a document created by my teacher about things to do when you meet your
mentor for the first time or when you have an interview. Here are some of the
ideas both the podcast and the document expressed:
- · ALWAYS stay positive. Most companies and mentors want a positive atmosphere in the workplace
- · Dress appropriately and always dress professional on your interview and on the first day. Moderately wear jewelry and makeup. You never know who you are going to meet
- · Show confidence: Do not be afraid to initiate a firm handshake, make eye contact with your mentor and/or coworkers, smile, and always have good posture
- · Arrive early. You want to build up a reputation of always being punctual and reliable
- · Be quick to learn names.
- · Research the company you wish to join and what your position is. This shows that you are truly interested in joining the company.
- · Start conversations with your mentor. Never be afraid to be honest about your accomplishments. Having conversations is beneficial because you both will get to know each other and even become close acquaintances.
- · Finally, work hard at every task you do
I am personally very
excited about my mentorship! This will definitely help me learn how to become
the engaging, helpful, and wonderful teacher I wish to become! I believe I will
learn how to teach Social Studies in a way that students will enjoy. I hope to
learn how to engage and interact with students and faculty. This will definitely benefit me in that I
will learn what exactly teachers have to do on a daily basis. I have had my
mentor as a teacher before, and I know he will give me advice and teach me all
I need to know about becoming a teacher. He will always encourage me to
interact with the class and participate in as much as I can. This year is going
to be great!
