Divide the class into two groups. Half the class will be recruiters for a large department store chain that is looking to fill 15 manager trainee positions. The other half of the class will be candidates for the job. The company is specifically looking for candidates who demonstrate these three qualities: initiative, dependability, and willingness to assume responsibility.
● Have each recruiter select and interview an applicant for 10 minutes.
● Have all the recruiters discuss how they assessed the applicant in each of the three desired qualities. What questions did they ask or what did they use as an indicator to determine whether the candidate possessed the quality?
● Have all the applicants discuss what they said to convince the recruiters that they possessed each of the three desired qualities.
