A new Mason-Dixon survey, conducted for the Water Quality and Health Council, found that parents are alarmed at the amount of time children spend on electronic devices at the expense of physical activities like swimming. The survey also found that 84 percent of parents would like to see their children swim more often and 88 percent reported having access to a swimming pool. Most parents said their children can swim, including 78 percent of 7 and 8-year-olds, and 89 percent of 9, 10 and 11-year-olds.

The basic question in every interview is “Why should I hire you?” The interviewer’s objective is to assess your credentials, form an impression about your personality and determine the degree to which your interests and background correspond with the employer’s hiring needs. Your objective is to translate your abilities, skills and attributes into benefits for the employer. You must be able to verbalize why your strengths are of value to this specific employer.
