The lesson assumes that students are proficient in word processing, presentation software, and Internet search engines. Divide students into teams of three. Give each team names of the businesspersons in human resources and have them contact these individuals. Discuss with students what they have learned about interviewing for a job. Assign students a computer presentation on what makes a successful interview.
Students can use the Internet as their primary source of information.
If the Internet is not available, the teacher could have the students use the library and gather information from outside sources. Team members will evaluate their team using the Teamwork Rubric. Students will present their presentations on interviewing to the class. Team members should make a hard copy of the presentation to save for their own reference or to be included in an employment portfolio. Students could compile an interviewing manual using the information they gathered for their presentations.
