This story ties into selling Girl Scout cookies. They always agree that Candidate Two will get the job because of her use of good manners. I then ask my students who they think will get the job and why? The interview committee takes each person out to lunch.Ĭandidate One orders the most expensive item, eats sloppily and with her mouth open, reaches across the table for what she needs, and does not thank the committee for the meal.Ĭandidate Two orders a lower priced item, chews with her mouth closed and remembers how to use a napkin, politely asks for someone to pass the salt and pepper, remembers to say thank you at the end of the meal and follows up on the lunch interview with a written thank you note as well. Frequently, I use the example of going on a job interview and having two equally qualified candidates. As a teacher, I try infuse the importance of showing appreciation, using proper language and even proper eating skills. One of the things I have always been a stickler for in my life is good manners. Nonetheless, all will need to use these skill sets throughout cookie season and throughout their lives. Of course, the younger girls will need a lot more help with their cookie selling than older girls. Free printable Girl Scout Cookie thank you notes and more will help your troop get the most out of cookie season!Ĭookie selling is involves many many life skills sets.
