Peer Interviews in Action
Loading...
What does the right peer interview look like? This video demonstrates what the right way to conduct your peer interviews looks like. Notice the peer interview lead provides an overview of what the candidate will experience, as well as the types of questions that will be asked. One at a time, the peer interview team asks a question. The team is looking for specific cues about the candidate's past behavior, attitude, and a thorough response.
Reflection Activity

instructors who reside in locations at
00:56
all kinds of distances and this type of
00:59
communication with the instructors is
01:01
going to vary based on the content so
01:04
what communication skills do you have
01:06
that conveys specific messages to large
01:10
groups of individuals what was the
01:12
situation that you had to do so and then

01:35
position describe a particular situation
01:38
in which you were the lead for
01:40
development of other professionals how
01:42
did you structure the development and
01:44
was the preferred outcome achieved hi
01:47
Casey
01:48

01:51
of a team of eight people we were

pursuing a new company
02:00
thanks for your responses marina and so
02:03
we have one additional question so can
02:06
you describe a situation where you were
02:10
providing feedback that was a difficult
02:12
to provide to another individual that
02:15
you supervise did you accomplish with
02:18
that feedback what you intended and and
02:21
is there anything you would do

02:35
so thank you marina for your very candid
02:39
responses we appreciate that and we want
02:42
to give you an opportunity to ask any
02:44
questions that you might have of us or
02:47
that you would like to know about next
02:50
steps sure I so company culture is
02:53

02:56
like to know just how you guys lived
02:57
those values in your workplace
02:59
hmm
03:04
that’s a great question so I’m going to
03:08
start and what I would say is that
03:11
student group is known for the culture
03:13
that we have we definitely live values
03:15
we recognize them we recognize
03:18
individuals who live them each and every
03:20
day Tuesday was very recently recognized
03:24
for our value of impact because of the
03:27
great work she’s been doing in social
03:29
media so I think that that’s one of the
03:32
ways it’s recognizing people and what we
03:35
know from our founder Quint Studer is
03:38
what gets recognized gets repeated which
03:40
is what we intend anything so appreciate
