On April 28, 2022, members of the Magnolia Rotary Club participated as volunteers in the EPIC (Employment Practice Interview Conferences) held at the Bear Branch Junior High School located at 31310 FM 2978 hosted by the College & Career Readiness teachers from Bear Branch & Magnolia Junior High Schools. Pictured above from left to right are: Roxanne Langley (Magnolia Junior High) and Maria Osborn (Bear Branch Junior High).
This event was part of the 2022 Magnolia Rotary Club District 5910 Grant Project. A total of 15 Magnolia Rotary Club members acted as interviewing managers for the roughly 200 8th grade students who participated. Each student provided a filled out questionnaire to the interviewer who then asked typical hiring manager questions of the student. The volunteer interviewers than rated the students reactions to the questions asked during the interview. The point of the event was to give the students some practice at interviewing for a job with Chick-fil-A being the example hiring company. In addition to the Magnolia Rotary Club volunteers, there were a number of MISD Board members as well as MISD teachers and administrators. The event was an all day event and was quite successful in providing the first time practice for the students.
