KIFL Business Communications Skills - final interview preparation - tasks, language & roles

Hello to my Senka students (again!),

Above is the shot of our plan for next week (12/5) and the week after (12/12) - in this post I will show the first part about what we will have for our last two meetings. A second part will follow shortly.

I decided to do this as I have a lot of notes here, and it might make the post really long. 

INTERVIEWER/INTERVIEWEE LANGUAGE
First, here is the rest of the board notes for today (11/28). These are the kinds of questions most likely to be asked by interviewers (*NOTE - pay special attention to this, the next board shot, and the points in red I show after the board shots!): 

kkkkk

These are the kinds of questions most likely to be asked by interviewers.

kkkkkkk

Here are some question language items and strategies for interviewers to use: 
Can you tell me (more) about...
How would you describe your strong points?
What would you say were your weak points?
Tell me more about (your experience/internship/coursework at KIFL/university)...
What would you say is your ideal working environment? (In your own words, can you say...?)

DO NOT RELY ONLY ON THESE! Interviewers - by all means think of some questions of your own, following the ideas on the kinds of questions interviewers ask as well on the interviewers' board note shot above! 

Now here are some more response language strategies for interviewees to use: 
I would say...
It's my feeling that...
I'm glad you've said that, because...
I'm very interested in...
It's hard for me to say, but I'll try...

Again - DO NOT RELY ONLY ON THESE as ways to initiate responses, and DO NOT SCRIPT OUT RESPONSES! Interviewees - by all means think hard about your skills and experience on your resumes, following along the ideas on the kinds of questions interviewers ask as well on the interviewers' board note shot above! 

INTERVIEWER/INTERVIEWEE TASKS
For 12/5 - first round of job interviews
As the board notes show, all of you will pair up and play the roles of interviewers and interviewees. One person will interview the other person. The interviewee has to prepare for the interview and the interviewer must ask questions of the interviewee. The interviewee has to be ready for the questions, and respond to them. 

INTERVIEWEES - bring your resumes!

For 12/12 - second round of job interviews 
So for 12/12, the same pairs will come in, but the roles will be reversed. The ones who were the interviewees on 12/5 will now be interviewers, and the interviewers from 12/5 will now be interviewees. 

INTERVIEWEES - bring your resumes!

Here are the lists of interviewers and interviewees for both weeks:
kkkkk

Good luck and see you then! Part 2 to this final interview preparation post will follow.
