Professional expectations to meet and personal qualities to mention
Process:
- Introduction: This exercise is a little roleplay as a follow-up of the interviews in the previous exercise. This time pairs pretend to have a job interview, focusing on the match of job requirements with personal character and qualities.
Each interview starts with a mutual introduction.
In having these mini-interviews ‘on stage’ (pair by pair and taking turns in roles) the participants have to comply with some basic rules in (Dutch) professional behaviour:
– Keeping eye contact when talking to someone
– Being direct and clear in both questions and answers
– Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses
– Saying what you think (to help each other) - After each pair (2 mini-interviews) the facilitator asks the pair to shortly reflect on how it went and the host responds with a few “tops and tips” for each participant.
Time depending on the number of participants 10-15 minutes per pair plus 10 minutes for the introduction and 15 minutes for the summarising recap of the workshop.
