Holy Trinity High School's Guardian of Hope Fundraiser, is an event that select students can attend, (usually NFTE students). It isn't only a fundraiser, but a huge networking event, which NFTE helps prepare you for events such as these, and also teaches you the proper etiquette for such events. At the event, I met a multitude of interesting people, and it is an event I am very grateful for having the opportunity to attend.
The proceeds from the event goes towards things at HT like financial aid, etc. and is HT's biggest fundraising event.

The NFTE course includes:
1. Mock interviews: Help you prepare for an actual interview, and prepares you for the questions that will be asked, and how to answer them.
2. The elevator pitch you learn at the beginning of the year? It will be a great opening for your interview, when the interviewer says "so tell me about yourself" it includes the most important details about yourself in a concise manner.
3. Prepare a resume- Your resume is a detailed list of your accomplishments, and is a very important piece of any interview process. Be as concise as possible, while making sure to include your most important information, and accomplishments

60-Second Pitch Competition: Where I and other NFTE students competed in a competition where we pitched our business in sixty seconds, and whoever could sell their business best, won.
Mock Interviews: Helped me to prepare for the interviews I would later be sent on thanks to HT's Summer Internship program. Before the mock interviews, I was always nervous when going on an interview, but now I am more confident and feel like I know what I'm doing when being interviewed.]]> 2017-05-29 05:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dwilliams_2018/k6ujggg5cvte/wish/174194220
