You work for an international PR (Public Relations) company and are part of a committee deciding on a new recruit for your customer relations department. You need to recruit someone who is a good communicator with people from all kinds of communities and cultures

The candidates have already been interviewed and a summary email has been sent to the committee about each person. The committee has decided to invite one candidate back for a final interview and needs to decide which one.

Read the summary emails (A and B).

Write the appropriate word or phrase on the comments (+/–). E.g. if your email says ‘Couldn’t look at me and was always looking out of the window’, you should write ‘can’t maintain eye contact’ or ‘poor eye contact’ in the – column.

If you aren’t sure about how to interpret some of the information, you should note it as something to look for in the final interview e.g. ‘How charismatic?’.

When you have completed the +/– sheets, you will be put into pairs (or groups of four) and discuss which of the two candidates should be invited for the final interview and why.

Pleasant man. Made us laugh a lot. Never dominated the interview. Everyone liked him and we all
felt we wanted to listen when he spoke. Expect he’ll be popular with colleagues. He understood all
the questions and thought about them carefully. Clothes very smart. Obviously had his hair cut
for the interview! When asked about experience of other communities/cultures he started crossing
and uncrossing his legs, looked uncomfortable, maybe sweating a bit? His reply was long and
he didn’t really answer the question – talked about other things instead. When relaxed, he looked
straight at us. When uncomfortable, looked out of the window a lot.

Pleasant woman. Completely relaxed. Very confident during the interview – but not very warm.
Some colleagues will like her a lot, but not sure about everyone. Sat calmly with legs crossed.
Always looked at the person she was speaking to. Chose her words very carefully. Spoke clearly.
Never said more than absolutely necessary. Answered questions well. Obvious she could interpret
what was being asked. But she didn’t smile very much. Never laughed (even when I made a joke).
Dressed a bit too casually for an interview. When asked about experience of other communities/
cultures, she stayed very relaxed but said that she didn’t have much – could learn? We really liked
her honesty.
