The two handouts below can be used for an activity using the Facebook template above. The activity involves students getting into groups of three (depending on class size). Two students will be the bosses and one student will be interviewing for a job in each group. The bosses will use the students' Facebook templates as their resume. The bosses will write questions they will ask the interviewee and record the interviewees' answers, along with the final decision about whether or not they will hire the interviewee and why, using the first handout below.
While the bosses are writing their decision about hiring the interviewee or not, the interviewee will be answering questions about the interview using the second handout below.
