• Cards with jobs [You can use various free online resources and print them out. For

example: https://7esl.com/jobs-vocabulary/. You can also always prepare them yourself.
Write the different job names on a piece of paper, print them and cut them out. It is also
a good idea to add pictures of occupations to their description. This will help people with
language problems. Remember to adapt this material to your group]

2.4 Step-by-step instructions to the trainer on how to implement the activities
Activity no. 1 - Job interview
Total duration: approx. 75 minutes; Group size: 5 – 15 participants

a. The first task for each participant will be to write their strengths on a piece of paper. Tell
the participants that knowing their strengths and being able to present them is very
important, especially in their professional lives. Give them a sheet of paper and a pen
and inform them that the skills/personal characteristics they write down can refer to
absolutely everything. Finally, ask participants to share 3 of their strengths with the
group. (10 minutes)
b. The next task will be group work. Prepare a flipchart on which you will put all the do's
and don’ts regarding the interview. Start with a brainstorm session with participants
where the ideas are not evaluated and then once you have prepared all the do's and
don’ts focus on discussing them and if necessary removing them from the list. (20
minutes)
c. The previous two tasks were designed to prepare participants for the third task, which
involves role-playing a job interview. Participants know their strengths and the rules they
should follow at a job interview. They are prepared to have an actual interview. Write
the names of different jobs on cards and let each participant draw one and give them 5
minutes to prepare for the interview. Then act out one scene with each participant.
During this time, the rest of the group makes notes of remarks and mistakes they have
observed in the conversations. Finally, you discuss common mistakes in behaviour and
look for solutions. (30 minutes)
