Lab Activity
Job Interview
Description:
The instructor sends target language interview questions (such as list below) to student computers via the Virtuoso software, and the role play in pairs. Each student takes a turn as the interviewee.
Sample Interview Questions
- Tell me about yourself
- Why are you interested in this position?
- What do you know about our company?
- Tell me about your experience in X.
- What qualities do you like/not in a workplace/boss/colleagues?
- What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
- What are your short-term and long-term goals related to this position?
- What do you do in your free time?
Follow-Up: Discuss an interview you have had: What questions were you asked? How was the experience? What are some do’s and don’ts of a job interview (locally and in TL culture)?
Modifications:
Students develop their own interview questions, and then are paired for role plays. Students watch a target language video related to advice on good interview answers and questions. They then are random paired with the Virtuoso software to discuss the interview questions with each other.
