3. The Role Play
You will present your letter to your potential employer. He or she will read through it quickly. Then, they will ask you some questions (these will be written on a notecard). You will answer all the questions asked thoroughly, giving examples and complete answers. Remember, you want to impress this person so that you’ll get the job. The last thing they’ll ask you is if you have any questions. Ask the questions you’ve prepared based on the job you’ve selected. You will have a chance to play the role of the Interviewer and of the person seeking the job.
** You may not use your notes when you present
