Effective communication in interviews

Background:

If we want to make a good impression in job interviews and we want a successful interview, we need to learn and apply effective communication methods. In this module, there is information about both verbal communication and body language, which are necessary for effective communication.

Tasks:

1. The teacher explains effective communication via the information in the video.

As a follow up activity, the teacher invites the students to sit back to back in pairs.

Step 1: One is asked to describe her room, and the other, according to the explanation, to draw without asking questions.

Step 2. Students share and check out the drawings, discussing what it feels like to have one-way communication when there is no opportunity to get feedback or ask questions while sharing their experiences.

Step 3. With group work “What makes active listening good?”, students are asked to make a list together. Invite students to give spontaneous answers and write them down on a piece of paper. Discuss further why active listening is important when it comes to leadership.
