Employability Skills - Career planning - Interview Skills - Speed dating

Two activities that promote good interview technique, positive responses and body language. Activity 1: sitting in pairs, students ask the example interview questions to their partner. The partner responds, they flip the card over (print both sides) and reveal the true meaning of the interview question as well as the perfect response. Students compare their response to the suggested response. Activity 2: With students in pairs, sit one on the outside (interviewer) and one on the inside of the desk (interviewee). The interviewer asks the questions provided and takes notes. After 4-5 minutes call 'time' and the students on the inside move to the next interviewer. When students return to the first interviewer they swap and become the interviewer. Worksheet: Interview candidates give their worksheet to the interviewer and receive a score for their body language during the interview. These activities will last 2+ lessons depending on class size.
