Role Play: Interview

e) In this task, you are required to conduct the interview of three different applicants, your
classmates. At all times the room setting, body language, and questioning must be
utterly legal and appropriate. Ensure that all applicants are treated equally and the
same questions are asked of each. Minor changes to gain further necessary clarification
or to gain understanding may be asked, but all applicants should be treated equally and
all allowed equal opportunity to ‘sell’ themselves.

Each student will be required to participate in a role play in two capacities: as a


selection panel member (interviewer) and as an interview candidate (interviewee).

Students will only be assessed using the Observation Checklist provided in Appendix: 08
for their role as a selection panel member (interviewer). Details provided below.

Information about role play for an interviewee:

 You will not be assessed for your role as an interviewee in the role play activity.
However, constructive participation in the role play activity is a must and
adherence to interview etiquettes as outlined below, is expected by all the
participants.

 Before the start of the role play, the whole class will be briefed by the trainer on
the role play requirements as set out in the Learner Assessment Guide for this
unit, see below, and also on the job advertisement finalized, Task 1 b (IV) above.
Although Job advertisement for each student would vary to some extent, it is
entirely left up to the discretion of the trainer to choose any Job advertisement
and keep it same for students to consider prior to participating in a role play
Apex Institute of Education BSBHRM405 – Learner Assessment Guide V2.1_Mar’19 | CRICOS: 03156M Page 38 of 50
activity as an interviewee. The purpose here is to ensure fairness and to give all
students the same job advertisement (with same job requirements) so that they
can know in advance the job requirements and selection criteria.

 Students are required to go through the job advertisement prior to participating


in a role play activity as an interviewee.

Interview etiquettes for interviewees:

The following Interview etiquette refers to codes of conduct a student in his/her role as
an interviewee must follow while appearing for interviews:

 Make an eye contact with the interviewer. Avoid looking here and there.
 Be honest with the interviewer. Remember a single lie leads to several other lies.
Avoid fake stories. It might land you in trouble later.
 Take care of your pitch and tone. Be polite but firm.
 Stay calm. Avoid being nervous during interviews. Remember no one will hang you
till death if you do not clear the interview. There is always a second chance.
 One must sit straight for the desired impact. Avoid fiddling with pen and paper. It is
important to have the right attitude as it helps you stand apart from the crowd.
 Keep your cell phone in the silent mode while attending interviews. Cell phone
ringing during interviews is an offence.
 Chewing gum during interview is childish.
 Do not fold your resume; instead keep it in a proper folder. Carry all other relevant
documents which you might need during interview. Keep a passport size photograph
handy.
 Slangs and one-liners must not be used in interviews.
 Avoid cracking jokes with the interviewer.
 Once you are done with the interview, do not forget to thank the interviewer.
