- Discuss
students’ career information interviews. Students have had the opportunity to interview someone in a
career that interests them. How did they do? What did they learn? Were
there any surprises? Discuss the interviews with your students. If your
students did not conduct interviews, talk about the career research
they’ve conducted to date. (5-10
minutes)
- Reflect
on information interviews. After
your discussion, distribute the Career
Information Interview Reflection handouts. Ask students to work
individually or in small groups to complete these. They might want to
supplement their reflections with Internet or library research. If your
students did not conduct interviews, have them complete the reflection
forms using the research they’ve conducted on a career of interest as their
“interview.” (10-15 minutes)

they’re proud of – or that they learned from – and create rationales of
work samples.
