1. On the quiz I got a 15/20. This indicates that I would do fairly well for job hunting. I there are some things that I need to work on, like the things I didn’t know about interviews. I could improve my skills by talking to interviewers or my teacher to figure out exactly what I would need to do in an interview.

1. My score was 13/20. I need to work on the parts of off sight interviews. I can improve these by studying what you are supposed to do and work at it. Also, I can talk to people who are used to doing these off sight interviews and get their help to learn how to do that a lot better.

McKenney, I disagree with your meaning of a handshake. I believe that anyone who goes into job interviews will greet the interviewer with respect by shaking his or her hand. When people shake hands it is because they are being friendly not confident

1. I got a 16/20, 80%, which is all right. I could use a nice polishing on my etiquette, but I can still get a pretty decent job without it. I could improve by studying the job-hunting etiquette.

Emily/McKenney: I think you are both correct handshaking can very well show confidence by how firmly you grip and how relaxed or focused your face is; same signs are shown for a “ready to work” attitude.

Memo: well I don’t exactly agree, I mean of course you want to be there, your looking for a job; if you really want to be there that means that you want to introduce yourself; and introducing yourself means that you are need to shake the other person’s hand, so in essence you are correct about all those things but I do not believe they are shown by shaking hands I believe they are shown by showing up.

1. On the quiz I got a 17/20. This indicates I would do well, and I would do ok on a job interview. I could improve these skills by practicing for a interview and studying someone that is doing a interview. I could also talk with people.

Mckenney- you didn’t do very well on the quiz. I disagree on the handshaking part though. Someone might be very confident but they still might not get the job.

1. On the quiz I got a 18/20. I think that I would do a fairly good job at job hunting. I think that there is still many things that I do not know about job hunting. I did not know that when you greet someone for the first time you should not use a cupped handshake when introducing yourself. I think that I can help my job hunting skills by talk to parents and teachers so that I can be prepared for anything that my happen at a interview.

1. My score was a 17/20. It indicates that I am very good at job etiquette but I do need to polish a few things. I think I could improve by giving people more information about myself and taking chances wisely and to my advantage.
Emily

1. My score was 15 out of 20. This indicates that my skills are good but there are still some areas I need to study. I can improve my skills by taking time to learn about the things about business etiquette that I don’t know so I can be more polite when applying for a job.

Logan- A hand shake is not to tell the streanth of a person it is to tell how confedent you are if your hand shake is weak you are not confindent and if it is firm they are very confindent.

1. On the quiz I got 18 out of 20. This tells me that I do well on job-hunting. I think I am a good job hunter, I do not think I need to improve on any thing but handshaking. 2. Handshaking means that you have to have an attitude that is positive and that it puts of positive energy and that you feel that you want to be there, and that you actually want the job. Also the difference is that it could determine if you get the job. Like I said if you have a negative attitude you will probably not get the job you want.

Logan- A hand shake does not determin of how strong one person is. That realy should not matter, what should matter is the atitude that you put off.
Joshua

Memo- I do agree with your definishion of a handshake, you should not show fear and have confiedence that you will get that job.
