Title: Mock Interviews
Course: Health Care Language Arts > Section: Learning Modules

The instructor will give you the name of one student. You will be responsible for interviewing this student, pretending that you are a head nurse that is hiring for a nurse's assistant position at the Children's Hospital of Illinois. To accomplish this part, you will need to do several things:

1. Email your fellow student in a professional manner to setup the interview, asking for available dates and times and getting their phone number.
2. You should respond by email with a date and time that works for both of your schedules.
3. Prepare a perfunctory introduction and several questions that you think would be appropriate for the position. You should try to cover education and training, work history, personal experience, and behavior. You should use the Interview Guide to help you plan out the questions.
4. Initate the phone call at the proper date and time and then conduct the interview. Make notes about things the interviewee did well and things that he or she could improve upon. You will be required to offer them some constructive advice in module fourteen.

For the second part, you will flip responsibilities. For this part, you will need to do several things:

1. Respond to your fellow student's email in a professional manner, outlining when you are avaiable for an interview. Also include your resume when you respond to them.
2. Prepare for the interview by researching the company, preparing answers to some of the questions in the Interview Guide, devising some follow-up questions that you can ask about the company or position, and following the other advice in the guide.
3. Be ready at the appointed date and time and practice being an excellent potential employee during the interview.

You do not need to complete the interview during this module. However, you will be required to provide constructive advice to the person you interviewed during module fourteen. So, the interviews must take place by then.
