Description
Details
1: Bring in a resume, or talk about resumes for a few minutes. Ask the students what goes on a resume.
2: Have all students quickly (10 minutes) write a resume in English. Encourage exaggeration, even lies.
3: Choose some different jobs: possible fun choices are McDonalds, KFC, Gas station attendant, NASA Astronaut, CIA spy, Military General, Model, anything a little out of the ordinary, or at least not what the majority of the students expect to do with their lives. Review frequently asked interview questions with the class.
4: Have them work with partners taking turns interviewing each other for jobs.
5: After everyone has been interviewed and been the interviewer, query the class on their success: did the applicant get the job? How did they do?
