Guest Speaker: Mr. Tom Oestreich, Director of Human Resources

Mr. Tom Oestreich, Director of Human Resources for MSDWT, provided NCTS students tips and advice for landing the jobs of their dreams.  


Mr. Oestreich's message directly related to the NCTS MYP unit question:  
How do my choices influence my future?
His advice inspired students to think about how they will prepare for their future interviews. 

"When I watched Jodeci's mock interview, I learned that you never want to give one word answers, 
like yes or no.  Jodeci always explained her answers, and Mr. Oestreich said that was good." -Yemi

"During the mock interview, Mr. Oestreich asked me some questions that I wasn't prepared for.  
This made me realize that it is important to rehearse questions and answers." -Cameron

"Mr. Oestreich really stressed that we need to make a good first impression. 
I think I need to be careful about the way I talk and how I dress when I am in an interview." -Victoria

"I learned that I should research the company that I am interviewing for by going on-line and doing a 
Google search. This lesson was good because it relates to real life."  -Jodeci

"Mr. Oestreich talked about the importance of a firm hand shake, and he told me that 
I have a good handshake." -Trenton

Thank You, JELCC Dental Assisting Students!

JELCC's dental assisting students teamed with a local dentist to offer dental examinations to NCTS and NCHS students.  Students learned about dental hygiene, while having their teeth cleaned.  

A special shout out to Elieth, a former NCTS student who is now working towards a career in the dental field. Your NCTS teachers are proud of the work you have accomplished, Elieth! 

Earlier in the semester, dental assisting students visited NCTS classes and provided valuable lessons related to dental care and health. NCTS thanks you for this on-going partnership.
