Last Friday of the Internship

Happy Friday everyone!  It's the day after Mattie's birthday... still in a sugar coma, but we pushed through!  We continued working on the decorations for Monday.  Janet and Shelly put together the dessert table.  Below are the before and after pictures of how they stagger the table.

It's going to look really nice with ALL the amazing desserts we are going to have.  In the middle we are going to have a podium with a tiered dessert display with medals to showcase the main attractions.

Here is a copy of our menu. Celebrate the Games in Posh With A British High Tea Nosh.  Nosh is a British term meaning a big meal.  As you can see, it's going to be delicious:)

And these are the name tags for the different course items.

 Here is our tea table!  We are going to have a big silver tea pot with water and an assortment of crumpets, biscotti, and scones to go with the teas. 

In the afternoon, we went to a training session for assistant managers hosted by Kris.  We played a game to wake everyone up; a sticker was placed on your back with a famous person and you had to go around and ask yes or no questions to figure out who you had on your back.  I was Barbie and Mattie was Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.

 Our nametag pictures assigned us to different groups.  In our groups we brainstormed good interview questions to ask to potential employees.  Kris emphasized the importance of behavioral based questions because you need to learn what an employee would do in certain situations.  You learn about their past experience from their resume, so in interviews you should investigate situational and behavioral aspects of the person. 

For all you soon to be graduates, know that an employee cannot ask you certain questions like; are you a US citizen, what is your native tongue, when did you graduate, what is your age, what clubs and social organizations do you belong to, how tall are you, have you ever been arrested, or if you were in the military.  They may however ask if you are authorized to work in the US, what languages you can speak/read/write, if you are over the age of 18, or any physical demands that the job might require.  Don't feel bad for telling a potential employer you do not feel comfortable answering certain questions that do not pertain to the job!
