Interview role play is one of those assignments that I had done in people management class as well. This assignment was really time-taking and it was hard to accomplish it because students had to do it as a group. The instructions for this assignment were that students were signed in to the group of two or three and then they were going to choose a job description from every kind of job post website. Students were supposed to write two situational questions, two behavioral questions, and one unstructured and then answer the question based on the job position that they selected. However, I selected the job description that I got hired into and I had known many things about that job. My teammate and I should check our questions and answer all the time because for this assignment the student had not to make it that much real and we can use many exaggerations, which made sense and teacher was not looking for that much reality from answers, but they should be related to each other. After making questions and answering the questions.
Last but not least, it was the time to record a video. My teammate and I had to act as interviewee and interviewer. In the first record, I acted as interviewer and asked the question that my teammate wrote about his position and job description and on the other hand, my teammate as an interviewee answered his questions. In the second record, my teammate acted as an interviewer and asked all my questions, and I had to answer them as an interviewee. When we recorded and edited two videos, I uploaded them onto youtube as unlisted and shared the link with my teacher.
My learning outcome:
From role play interviews assignment, I have learned how I should present and show up in interviews and it was a really great warm up for my future as well. I had learned what kinds of questions may the interviewer ask and what is their expectation. I have learned before every interview that I should have a brief knowledge about the position that the company is offering to answer each question based on that position.
