Interview Handout
Selling yourself
During the interview, you are selling yourself. You need to explain how you are the best match for the job. At the beginning of the interview, listen to the interviewers. Let them explain the job, the duties, and the interview process. Use immediacy behaviors, be positive, and act confident but not aloof. Imagine yourself being the interviewer. How should someone behave if you were considering him or her for a job in your organization? As you answer your questions, explain how your traits are the traits needed for the job. Give specific examples about how you were creative or energetic or patient.
If you are interviewing for a teaching job, you would consider characteristics in excellent teachers including patience, caring, organized, and life-long learner. Think of examples where you have displayed these characteristics in your work or volunteer experiences. Have clear examples about how you have experience and expertise to carry out the duties of the job. You should also understand the company environment and know that you are a good fit. I was working with a search committee, and we were interviewing people for a community college assistant professor position. The man we were interviewing had the education and experience, but he did not understand the community college environment. We are student focused, and when he referred to community college students as “those students” and “students who could not begin at the university level,” we were not impressed. Our students choose to start at a community college because of various reasons. It is a great place to begin their college experience. The people on that committee and the faculty and staff at my college respect our students, many of whom are working, raising families, attending co-curricular activities, and are going to school full time. This individual used wording that angered me. He would not have been a good fit for our college. Know the priorities of the company or organization. You should also consider if you would feel comfortable in the environment as well.
Introducing yourself
The first few minutes of the interview is the most crucial. You will have bathed, cleaned your nails, hair, and brushed your teeth. Go easy on cologne or perfume. If you are interviewing for a professional job, wear a professional, well fitted suit that is black, pinstriped, or navy. Dress shirts or blouses are typically white. Shoes are professional, closed toe, clean, and match your belt. For more information, read the professional appearance chapter of this text.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Take a few minutes to look at yourself in a mirror and make sure that your clothes and makeup have not slipped or faltered on your way there. You should have a professional looking briefcase or satchel with a copy of your resume, cover letter, pad and pens, and portfolio with examples of your work. Always be friendly and respectful. Let the receptionist know that you have ar.
Learning Objective: Investigate test-taking skills to achieve higher assessment scores
Being prepared for tests is not an easy process. Even if you are prepared, tests can still make you feel anxious. Why is being a good test taker so important in college? In colleges and universities, much of a student’s grades are based on quiz and test performance. Doing well on these tests is typically a major indicator of your subject matter knowledge and a good indicator of how you would perform in the workplace. Having good test scores will jumpstart your career. In this seminar, we will address test-taking and test preparation tips and strategies for college-level tests. Applying helpful test-taking and test preparation skills addressed in this seminar, such as writing down everything you remember, reading the directions, browsing the test questions, putting together a plan, and making an educated guess, will teach you how to prepare for and perform well on any test so that you feel confident that you’re bringing your testing A-game.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Review the factors that limit achieving higher college assessment scores.
b. Identify practices for dealing with test anxiety.
c. Measure the validity of current test-taking methods.
d. Generate more efficient techniques for improving assessment scores.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

•If you are asked a question you don't understand , it is ok to
ask the examiner to repeat it. Listen for key words in the
question to help you understand . It is always better to ask for
clarification than to answer something completely different.
•It's very important that when answering a question ,you don't
give short yes/no answers or a one-line-answer . Elaborate on
the answer, expand , give details, reasons, examples. It is very
important to support your points.
•Stay on the topic. Don't talk about education if you are being
asked about cars
4. 04
• Relate the question to your own life. It is always easier to talk
about your own experiences . But if you are asked about
something you don't like or you don't have much to say about,
make it up, use your friends' experiences or what you know
about this theme from the radio or the news
• Study vocabulary beforehand.For each theme you know you
may be asked about ,learn words and expressions you might
need to use. If you know you might be asked about work ,
learn words and expressions related to that topic such as a
pay rise, to get a promotion..etc
5. 06
•Use a variety of structures. It might be helpful to write some
structures you definitely want to use and practise them a lot
before the exam. If you don't practise them , they won't come
naturally and you'll probably get stuck.
•Remember the examiner is looking for a range of vocabulary and
structures. It's your moment to shine.
•It is easier to talk if you divide up your answer. If you are asked
maybe about the advantages of using mobiles in the classroom ,
you can start by saying: well, there three things I want to mention
about... or there are two problems with ..or there are several
things I want to talk about
•If you can’t remember how to say a word in English, paraphrase
it and explain the word:“It’s a kind of …”or " I can't remember the
word but it is something you use when...”
6. 07
•If you get stuck, don’t worry! Start again:“What I
mean is…” . If they examiner sees you are having
difficulty answering a question , he will ask you
another one. We are human beings , not monsters!
•If you make a mistake, you can correct it and move
on. What is really important is to keep on talking .
•Record yourself and listen to you.
• And the most important tip... .practice, practice
practice
7. 08DON’T
•Don't memorize answers . It is easy to see when a
student has memorized a certain question and this is
not going to help you pass the exam . It is better if
you spend time learning vocabulary, collocations,
expressions...etc than memorising the whole answer
to a question.
•Don't go off topic. Stick to the question asked.
don't use I think too much.
•Don't give short answers and don't use
enumerations
•I know it is easy to say , but don't be nervous!
