We are looking for volunteers to conduct practice mock interviews for the offenders to work on their interviewing skills in preparation of their release. This is a great way to take a break from your normal work routine and provide offenders with the practice they need to seek employment. As you know we have a quite long quarter break in December. We are scheduled to have our mock job interviews on the afternoon of Friday, April 3rd. This starts with a Thank You luncheon & orientation for the volunteers at 11:45am (in J-3/Carver). At 1:00 we will gather with the SOTP offenders for an overview and then the rest of the afternoon (until 3:45) will be spent in doing mock interviews with the offenders and providing them with valuable feedback on their interview strengths and ways in which they can improve their interviewing skills. Contact Uyanga Bayandalai at Uyanga.Bayandalai@state.mn.us for more information.
