College Application Interview


RUBRIC & GUIDELINES
Performance Task 3

The primary objective of Unit 1 is to help you learn and practice reading and writing real-
world texts. You demonstrated how you can read and write texts related to professions
or tertiary courses. In this performance task, we shall test how you can communicate
effectively in a Zoom or phone interview.

Guidelines for College Interview:


1. Your Performance Task (PT) for the final quarter will either be a zoom or phone
interview.
2. Imagine you are an incoming freshman who wishes to be admitted in one of the
most prestigious universities in the country. Due to the COVID Pandemic, most of
the universities shifted from face-to-face classes to blended learning, thus,
application for university shifted to online as well. As a freshman student, you
wanted to be admitted in your university of choice and wanted to ace your
interview. So, you prepared tour resume, and college application letter, and are
scheduled for an interview next month.
3. The interview will be conducted during the S and/or A mode next week,
September 27 to October 1, 2021.
4. The interview will take only 5 minutes.
5. Your written works, Resume (document and video) and Application Letter should
be submitted first because those will serve as basis for your interview. No written
works mean no schedule for interview.
6. Before the interview, your instructor will have the discretion as to how he/she will
set the individual schedule for your interview which should be strictly followed. In
case that you missed or unable to attend to your scheduled interview, you are to
inform your instructor as soon as possible in order to re-schedule your interview.
7. Your interview will be rated according to the following:
a. Greeting;
b. Communication;
c. Politeness;
d. General attitude;
e. Responses to questions;
f. Integrity;
g. And overall demonstration of interview skill
8. If you chose to do a zoom interview, expectedly, you are to wear a formal attire.
If none, at least a collared shirt.
9. For phone interviews, the phone number of your instructor will be given ahead of
time for recognition purposes and for orderliness of the interview.
10. After answering the call, confirm all the details including the date, time, and who
you are talking to. Be sure you are ready because calls will be done during you A-
mode and S-mode sessions.
11. Listen carefully to the interviewer and don’t start speaking until the interviewer
finishes the question. If you have something you want to say, jot it down on your
notepad and mention it when it is your turn to talk.
12. Prepare for a zoom/phone interview just as you would for a regular in-person
interview. Compile a list of your strengths and weaknesses. In addition, have a list
of questions ready to ask the interviewer.
13. Talking on the phone or via zoom isn’t easy as it seems. As with an in-person
interview, practice can be helpful. Not only will this help you rehearse answers to
common interview questions, this will also help you realize if you have a lot of
verbal tics, mispronunciations, or speak too quickly or too slowly.
14. Before ending the call, do not forget to say thank you to your interviewer.
15. Your interview will be graded based on the rubric below.
