Learning to interview well is an important lifelong skill. It can help you get into college and even land a full-time job.

This one-time lesson will focus on developing successful job and college interview skills. How to present yourself over the phone, in an email, and on social networking sites will also be discussed because these can be determining factors when interviewing for a job.
