The Bay City Area Chamber of Commerce held Mock Interviews at Central High School last week, participating in this event were 20 volunteers conducting the interviews as well as 50 students who decided to participate in this event. JoEllen Strieter, Director of Education at the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce commented that, for the students "this is your opportunity to make mistakes, to learn."

Volunteers from a variety of different professions were conducting the interviews, coming from places like McLaren Bay Region, Dow Corning, Davenport University, Delta College, Chemical Bank, PNC, Independent Bank. Strieter noted that the volunteers that came in to conduct the interviews are "really influential people" and stated that "they do it because they love it."

When asked about what she thought the students gain from their experience doing mock interviews, Strieter said "Realism. This is what it's really like. They can ask questions, they can mess up, and it's okay. You can't get this in a textbook."
