Last Career Workshop Tuesday and Wednesday March 26th and 27th

Finally it came down to our last career workshop in Brazil.  We were scheduled to teach on Tuesday and Wednesday.  We were expecting at least 15 however, when no one came around 6 we almost left.  Last minute however, 5 trickled in and we began the last curso de CASP.  Since there were only 5 and they were relatively young we were able to teach the workshop in a more modified more personalized way.  Instead of taking three days to teach the course we were able to finish it two by Wednesday.  The group proved to be pretty receptive and eager to learn.  Since the majority of everyone there had no real job experience we focused a lot on their presentation skills and focused on helping them prepare for a job interview.  It was a satisfying experience to see them grow in confidence and preparation.  Although it seemed like a very short time we were in the country I really enjoyed the experience we were able to have, teaching the career workshop.  The principle I taught helped me as well act more professionally and helped me understand the intricacies of the Brazilian labor market.
