Chapter Ten: Interviewing: From Both Sides of the Desk Exercise 1 Subject: Interviewing a classmate through email Use your knowledge acquired from the textbook to conduct a biographical
profile interview with a student from your class. You may not select a friend
for this exercise. Your subject must be a complete stranger. One day in class,
introduce yourself, and inform them that you would like to complete this interview
exercise using them as your interviewee. Be certain that you have their email
account. Write them a couple of times to break the ice. Then, begin presenting the
necessary questions required to complete your interview. Make certain that you
have an interview agenda and strategy before you begin this exercise. Exercise 2 Subject: Write your resume and post it on Monster.com One of the most impressive innovations stemming from the Web Age, is the
introduction of job boards. On these boards, both recruiters and those in need
of work are in constant motion - looking to hire and be hired. This asignment for chapter ten may be something of a challenge, especially
if you have never considered putting together a simple resumé. Use the
information provided in your textbook to construct a digital copy of a resume
(a basic word-processed file is usually sufficient). Take your web-browser to: www.monster.com
and post your resume online after you have exhausted some search interest categories.
Who knows? You might be offered the dream job of your life. Exercise 3 Subject: CNN.com is always an excellent "interviewing"
resource Go to www.cnn.com, and view one of their
streaming video interviews. How has the convergence of traditional broadcasting media technology into
online technologies affected the nature of the interview? In other words, are
interviews that are placed online more open to criticism than those which were
formerly broadcast through television sets? Why? |
