Review the topics from the "Qualities of a Good Interview" class if you have not already. Write five phrases that include the following: What did you take away from this interview? What are some helpful hints for doing your interview?

Experience

We're going to start practicing interviews today. Choose a topic as a group. Now think of five questions an interviewer may ask about this subject. Different persons will have the opportunity to be interviewers in this activity. You can use the questions as a guide or come up with your own. Cut out behavior from the "Interviewer Scenarios" handout for each interview. The participant's job is to demonstrate the behavior as naturally as possible on your strip of paper.

Summarize

Distribute the "Steps to a Successful Interview" handout. As a class, read together. Add any new ideas you've gleaned from today's lesson.

Demonstrate

Divide the class into three groups. Give the course a topic for an interview. Each trio should brainstorm five potential interview questions and write them down. The Interviewer will conduct an interview Introduction to the group.
