Welcome to my Answering Job Interview Questions worksheet. Check out this excerpt from the training video I did for the New York City Department of Education. The next activity is a very high-level activity. It's Answering Job Interview Questions, but because it's answering job interview questions, it's really geared more towards juniors and seniors in high school, and again it really targets thinking about the other person, and ,more specifically, attaining the desired impressions you want to give. So, for example on a job interview you want to come across as hard-working, reliable, punctual, and so on. And it goes through the top five most common questions you get asked in job interviews, and it's very straightforward how you can answer each one, and why you might want to answer in that way. Thanks for reviewing my description of this activity. If you like what you've seen here, please click and subscribe to my channel. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but my web guy told me it's a thing!

Social Skills - Answering Job Interview Questions
Answering job interview questions is one of the most significant “Real-World Communication” issues we cover, as it involves perspective-taking and how to specifically obtain desired impressions from your interviewer; this resource provides step-by-step instructions and an abundance of examples for how to best answer common job interview questions.
This worksheet offers a comprehensive guide to answering the four most commonly asked questions in job interviews: “tell me about yourself”, “what's your greatest strength?”, “what's your biggest weakness?”, and “why do you want to work here?” It provides a step-by-step series of directions and includes a wide array of answer examples. The worksheet also details how to employ listener presupposition, as understanding the perspective of the interviewer is pivotal when responding to their questions. Specifically, it urges students to consider the impressions they want to leave the interviewer with while explaining how they should answer in order to give those targeted impressions. Roleplaying after going over the worksheet helps students practice real-world applications.
