I learned that the key is Being Dependable.

An Example would be: Calling in sick a lot.

Its fine to take a sick day but you must be responsible knowing how your absence affects other workers and team as a whole..

Don't make it a habit!!

Handling an Unhappy Interviewer

While thinking about how to overcome internal challenges, it may also be worth spending a few minutes to brainstorm a plan of action for when the employer is less than kind. 

WBL support is essential and everyone must be on the the same page.

At the core of all effective communication lies this mandate: always maintain your dignity.

 Every one of us can maintain our dignity by consistently expressing ourselves in a way that demonstrates self-respect and respect for others. This means remaining calm, rational, and honest, even if the other person has failed to do so. 

The importance of proper communication and professionalism in the workplace are essential.

Encourage students to come up with at least 5 questions so that learners can then generate a list of questions and ideas.

Once they have come up with those 5 questions to ask employer, you would ask them to articulate and demonstrate in a mock interview scenario that list of questions in a professional manner.

Your class's master list might include one of the following questions:

Question: "How would you describe the company culture and work environment?" 
Reasoning: To find out whether the company has a dress code, sponsored social events, and what the relationship between management and employees is like.
