Lisbon – Students attending the Gartley Street School in Lisbon had an a opportunity to participate in mock interviews with members of the business community.  Students provided letters of interest and resumes to retired Navy Commander, Tom Whitney; former business owner, Kathi Yergin; and Lisbon Library’s Reference/Information Services Technician, Anita Marenius.  The interviewers shared real life experiences of hiring and offered tips on the art of interviewing.  Students worked with each other preparing for interviews and were quick to relate to the suggestions of maintaining eye contact, and other helpful hits including the importance of good communication skills to secure a job.
