they want to ask in order to make sure that they are hiring the right
applicants.

• When students are ready, you should pair Applicants and Employers, so
they can perform the interview.
• Encourage Applicants to ask questions.
• Ask Employers to evaluate the applicants they meet and keep a record
of the evaluation.
• Every 3-5 minutes, pair an Applicant with a different Employer.
• Go around the classroom in order to take notes of errors you want to
address later.

Applicants they would like to hire and why.

students) the questions and answers that are likely to appear in an ideal
interview.
