Pana High School is excited to host its first-ever Student Job Fair and Mock Interview Day on January 16. This event aims to equip students with the skills and experience needed to thrive in their future careers. Local businesses, community members, and potential employers are invited to participate in this important day.

The school seeks individuals interested in conducting mock interviews. This will be an invaluable opportunity for seniors to gain experience and receive feedback in a real interview setting. Questions will be provided, and interviewers will be asked to offer encouragement and suggestions for improvement to the students.

Additionally, the school is reaching out to businesses looking to hire students after graduation. This could include scholarship programs that lead to employment or positions for students ready to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation. Local businesses in need of employees for after-school and weekend work are also encouraged to participate.

Interested parties are asked to register by contacting jtackett@panaschools.com to receive the Google registration form, or by calling (217) 562-6600 (counselor option from 10 AM to 12 PM).

This event is exclusive to Pana High School students and is not a community-wide job fair. The schedule for the day is as follows:

8:15 AM - 10:00 AM: Mock Interviews for all Senior Students

10:00 AM - 10:55 AM: Open Interviews and Job Fair for Seniors

10:55 AM - 1:00 PM: Open Interviews and Job Fair for Juniors and Sophomores

Pana High School says they look forward to a day of growth and opportunity for its students.
