Required Practice Interviews

Next year, the university’s career-services center will begin to offer practice job interviews for students, in which students will practice answering the typical questions asked by employers during job interviews. The goal is to help students improve their chances of getting a job. These practice interviews will be conducted by student volunteers, who will act as potential employers asking questions during a real job interview. The practice-interview session will be required for all students in their final semester, when most students start looking for jobs.

Seagoing Fish

Most fish spend their entire lives in one environment. However, young fish and adult fish may have different survival needs. Thus, certain kinds of fish stay in freshwater when they are young, and then migrate, or travel, to salt water once they reach a certain age. Species of fish that exhibit this behavior are known as seagoing fish. When seagoing fish are young, they have the best chance of survival in a freshwater environment. However, as they get older, a saltwater environment meets their survival needs better. In this way, moving from a freshwater to a saltwater environment as they mature helps seagoing fish to survive.

Explain how the example from the lecture illustrates the concept of sea-going fish.
