[This is a pair work activity. One student is the job interviewer, the other student is the prospective employee. Both students are encouraged to use the present perfect for past experiences during the exercise. After completing the conversation, students are given the second set of cards, and switch roles.
After both role plays have been completed, each student is given a blank card in which they must decide on a job, and decide what experience they think is necessary for the job. They are given some time to write the necessary experience, and then at the end there is a mingling activity where they must talk to as many of their classmates as possible, and decide who is best qualified for their job. (In my experience, it's common for confusion to occur during the last phase of this activity, so it's probably best to model at least one example of choosing a job and deciding the necessary qualifications. Also during the mingling activity, sometimes students are told they don't necessarily have to give truthful answers when describing their experiences.]
