DUE:
Extended Interview Assignment
1.
You and
your interview partner need to schedule a one-hour block at the Communication
Lab (CL). (Remember, you will have to do this twice. Once as an
interviewer and once as an interviewee).
2.
Take a 8MM tape with you for the CL digital camera.
3.
Record
your 15-minute interview.
4.
Receive
feedback from the CL consultant and review the tape. The consultant will
use three critique forms: Recruiter Form
(for the interviewer) and Applicant Form
(for the interviewee), and the standard CL report. (You will have to
bring the recruiter and applicant forms; they have the CL reports).
5.
Using the
information from your textbook (in particular Chapter 8), write at least 3 FULL
pages (but no more than 5 pages) addressing three key issues in employment interviewing.
Use examples from both of your videos. IÕm looking for depth and
real understanding. I need to know you can apply the information youÕve
learned from the book.
6.
This
paper should be typed, double spaced throughout, Times New Roman 12-point
font. Margins should be 1Ó all the way around. Only justify the
left margin. Use APA standards for formatting and references.
7.
As with
any essay, you should make your thesis/preview very clear within your
introduction. Failure to do so will eliminate any chances of making an A
on this assignment. You also need very clear transitions between your
main points in the body of the paper.
8.
Find
somebody to proofread your paper. We do have a Writing Lab on the 1st floor of
Seminary Hall. They have tutors who will proofread for you. Be sure
to show him/her this assignment sheet.
9.
Staple
copies of both of your CL reports to the back of the paper. You do not
have to return Recruiter Form A or Applicant Form A. Those are for your
learning and will not help or hurt your final grade.
10. This assignment is worth 100 points.
