FBLA is known for preparing members for the future, including resumes and job interviews. These things can also be taught in the classroom with a two part assignment.
- Show students examples of resumes and allow them to create their own. The teacher would help students with what they should put on their resume and organizing it in a way to look professional.
- For the next part, set up a mock interview. The teacher can be the interviewer, or allow fellow peers or a guest to conduct the interview. This assignment can be changed to fit more specific situations or it could be very broad.
This activity not only gets you points for exposing FBLA to non-members, but assists young students in being more prepared for the workforce. Students will be more confident moving into the next stage of their life.
