I developed the interview video project as a way to give students the opportunity to practice communication skills as if they were sitting in an actual interview. The format of the project simultaneously allows students to educate others about the interview process. As students applied for colleges and jobs, many of them were required to complete interviews, so this project was directly relevant to their lives. The students had fun recording the videos in building their interview skills.
We have now talked about job interviews over the last couple of days, and you should
have a good idea of how to effectively complete a job interview for successful employment. Now it’s YOUR turn to educate others – those not lucky enough to be in this class – of what a successful interview looks like. Today we will be creating videos to help others understand what a job interview looks like, and how to remain cool, calm and collected with the right answers to nail any job. From the interview tips we’ve created the last few days, I’ve compiled the most important ones below. Each student will be assigned a different interview technique and interview question to focus on in their video. You will answer a question asked by an interviewer twice: once poorly and once correctly. Make these videos funny and creative, but make sure to include all the necessary information and realize they will be used as a professional source for others.Directions: Form a group of three. Each group has three roles: the interviewer/narrator, the interviewee, and the evaluator/cameraman. Pick one technique and one question from the list below. In your videos, the interviewee is to answer one interview question being asked twice by the interviewer in two separate videos. The narrator/interviewer must explain what interview technique is being filled and why it is important. In one video, the interviewee will be effectively complying to one of the following techniques, and in the other video the interviewee is to demonstrate the technique being done ineffectively with a poor answer.
Techniques:
Direct Eye Contact & Firm Handshake
Cell Phone Ringer/Answering Phone
Active Listening
Positive Attitude
Familiarity with Resume & Cover Letter
Unprepared (No Pen, Chewing Gum)

The Interviewee Asking the Interviewer Questions (expressing interest)
