In this part we’ll practise for an upcoming job interview. Together we'll look at how to dress during a job interview, we'll talk about the types of questions you can be asked during a job interview, for example how they test your critical thinking skills. Besides these class-exercises, you can prepare for 'your' job interview by watching/listening or through a speaking exercise.
Speaking
You’ll have to work together with a partner, and one of you will be the interviewer and the other will be the interviewee who wants to work at that company. Find a partner to work with and choose one of your picked jobs to continue with. Decide who will be the interviewer and who will be the interviewee. Write down what you can say/ask in the interview. This means you will probably have to look up information about the company online. If you cannot find the answers to a question, you have to imagine the answer yourselves. Try to be realistic.
