A. RECRUITER. Let's imagine that all of you work in international companies in the field of your specialization (those who are employed, use the company you currently work for). You work in the HR department and are responsible for recruiting new staff. 1. Say a few words about the vacant position. Then ask an interview question at your choice, which the applicants will have to answer (consider which question/s from the above bank are most relevant for your position). After the applicants have answered your question, decide which was the best answer and explain why.

B. APPLICANT. You have to apply for the positions your colleagues have advertised and answer their interview questions. Always introduce yourself and say which position you are applying for and which question you are answering. Listen to your colleagues' answers and try to be yourself.

IT IS THE CONVERSATION THAT MATTERS AND YOUR ABILITY TO WORK ASYNCHRONOUSLY. THIS WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR FUTURE INTERNATIONAL WORK. In order to learn more about Elements of an Employment file (Interview questions), go to this page.

III. HOW TO BE ROMANIAN

This mini project targets your ability to spot and present specific Romanian cultural elements. Think about: politeness, values, greetings, eating and drinking habits, dressing code, family, stereotypes, pets, traditions, beliefs, driving, etc. My advice: 1.Try to see the full side of the glass; 2.Present from your own perspective, be less schoolish rather be original, authentic.

This project will be made with a programme entitled //Showbeyond//. Go to the site : [|http://www.showbeyond.com] Create an account. Then CREATE. Upload your own photos or photos from Flickr, Google images (Attention to copyrighted images!), your own photos. Create story Then follow the steps: 1. Get image (upload all the images you intend to use, 5 would be ok, each one referring to a different aspect). You can change their order by clicking on Sequence and dragging them at the desired place in your 'story'. 2. Slidecast - edit the images - add //written// comment

Record your //spoken// comments for each photo. Pay attention: you have maximum 30 seconds for each photo. Java will be automatically uploaded. On the bottom left hand corner of your image there is a small microphone. Click on it and the recording window will pop in. If you are satisfied with your recording, save (i.e. click on Insert - and when 100% appears, you can close the window for the respective photo and go to the next

3. Update story - will publish the 'story', choose 'public' profile (not private) and make sure you get the **Embed code - copy** it and include it in the [|database]in our Yahoo group MBA-TRH.
