We conducted Workshop #5 in
our series on Saturday. The topic was Interview Questions and
preparing for answering to those questions. We looked a variety
of the traditional background questions as well as many
behavioral questions. As a group, we discussed answers for the
more difficult questions for our clients particularly those
pertaining to previous employers and "gaps" in employment
record. Jeff Heilson and Kareem George demonstrated some good
and poor answers to the tough questions in a terrific role play
(see the photo below left). On a sad note, we lost one of our
clients to a relapse with alcohol. It serves as a reminder to
all of us how difficult alcohol addiction is to deal with and
how important our support for these men can be.
 
Next
week, is Workshop #6 and graduation! Graduation will begin
promptly at 6:00 pm and take place on the patio outside the
Recreation Hall at the
Salvation Army in Anaheim. During the 30 minute ceremony we
will have the opportunity to recognize our clients who committed
to the workshop series, and for some, the first thing they have
completed from start to finish in some time. Also, we will have
one more opportunity to build a sense of responsibility to
themselves by showing them there are people who care about what
happens to them in the future. Following the ceremony there will
be cake and punch. Please plan on attending. Next weeks coaches
are Laura Dietz, Reniero Francisco, John Goodlad, John Hedlund,
Christina Holliday, and Syd Lucas.
