Objectives
The learner knows what to be aware of (both verbally and non-verbally) when applying for a job.
Material
- Videos, photos, cartoons and/or other examples of job interviews (see below)
- Internet, if you are working with videos
- Blackboard or something similar.
Preparation
- Look for videos, photos, cartoons and/or other examples of job interviews, like:
- Formulate questions related to the do’s and don’ts of job interviews.
Instructions
- Show the visuals of a job interview.
- Let the learners comment on the visuals
- What dos do you see?
- What don’ts do you see?
- What advice would you give to the interviewee?
- What advice would you give to the interviewer?
- Tell about good job interviews you had.
- Tell about bad job interviews you had.
- Write the dos on the board.
- Finish with something funny, in which the don’ts are exaggerated.
This activity might take longer than the indicated 15 minutes, and will take longer if you add the role-play part.
Variant
- Once the learners are armed with good structures, let them role-play, alternating a ‘do interview’ with a ‘don’t interview’.
