• In a group of about four people, ask each member to think of at least three positive experiences and three negative experiences they have had at an interview.

• Your support group could be asked to offer possible solutions by brainstorming and suggesting ways to reduce the negative experiences. 

• Each member of your support group should write a question that might be asked at an interview - one that the group feels is extremely important. 

• Members of your support group should brainstorm possible responses to the questions given as examples and discuss their appropriateness. 

• Ask your support group to plan and prepare for an interview. 

• One participant could volunteer to be the interviewee, one participant to be the interviewer and two participants to observe and evaluate. You could select a suitable job that you might apply for from the Newspaper. Build the appropriate dialogue. Share the responsibility with your support group.

• Select questions for the interviewer together as a team, and select appropriate responses for the interviewee. 

• Your team could then role play the interviews - and video tape them for evaluation. 

• Ask your teacher, a trainer or a respected colleague to help you evaluate your role play. 


Special Note: Video camera equipment is available at most College libraries and often available at local libraries, for short term loan to members.
