Job+Interview

Send a group of students to the front of the class. These are the applicants. The rest of the students are the board of trustees of an imaginary company.

Ask the board to make up a name and a description of this company.

As the CEO I interview the applicants asking questions like: 1) What position are you applying for? 2) Why should we hire you? 3) Where did you go to school? 4) Do you have work experience? 5) What was your major? 6) Why do you want to work for this company?

Then I ask the board if they have any specific questions for the applicants.

Then I ask the applicants of they have any questions for me. If the applicants ask questions I forward them to the most appropriate manager for an answer.

(eg. Q: what is the company policy on vacation time? A: As the CEO I do not know much about this topic but the director of Human Resources is right here and will answer your question.

Then point to one of the students. Generally they will want the questoin repeated.)

I found that there is generally time for about 3-4 groups in an hour class.
