Interviewing Role-Play Procedure

NURS 194 LEADERSHIP I Renton Technical College Interviewing Guidelines LPN Program/

To get full credit for the interviewing project, follow all guidelines below.

Within assigned groups, each student will take a turn role-playing the following:

 The interviewer  The student being interviewed  Co-interviewer/ evaluator  Coordinator  Be in the waiting room

The instructor will video record the Interviews digitally. At a later date, the instructor will transfer recordings to the VHS or DVD+/-R/RW the student provides. Because recording of 4 groups will occur simultaneously, a quiet atmosphere is required. Due to space limitations, pulling the curtains for privacy may not be possible.

Role of Coordinator:

 When the group is ready to begin the interview, go to the instructor and notify her to start video recording.  During the interview, keep time, notify the interviewer when 10 minutes have passed, and do not allow the interview to continue more than 12 minutes.  At the end of the interview, go to the instructor and notify her to stop recording.  Collect Interviewing Rubrics from the student being interviewed and both co-interviewers/ evaluators.  Staple the 3 Interviewing Rubrics together and keep them with the group.  The coordinator for the last round of interviews will turn in all Interviewing Rubrics to the instructor.

Role of Interviewer:

 Sit in the chair opposite the student being interviewed behind the over-bed table.  Ask the questions on the “Interview Questions” form and will write answers on the form.  Be prepared to answer questions, using an imaginary place of employment pre- determined by the student being interviewed.

Role of Student Being Interviewed:

 Before beginning, tell the interviewer what the imaginary place of employment is.  Enter the interviewing area and sit in the chair facing the camera.  Respond to questions asked by the interviewer and will at the end ask questions of the interviewer.  Complete a self-assessment using the “Interviewing Rubric” immediately following the interview and give it to the coordinator.  Later, the instructor will give the student being interviewed a copy of his/ her interview. The student will then view the interview and analyze it using the “Interviewing Rubric.”

Role of Co-Interviewer/ Evaluator:

 Sit between the student being interviewed and the interviewer so there is eye contact with both people.  Ask additional questions if appropriate, but this not required.  Complete the “Interviewing Rubric” on the student being interviewed and give it to the coordinator at the conclusion of the interview.

Role of Students in Waiting Room:

 Await a turn to be interviewed with the other waiting students.  Be quiet and respectful of the interviewing process.
