5 points, Exercises. About 1 hours.

Instructions

1. Choose two of these questions: “Tell me about a time you worked with a difficult client or teammate,” “Describe a time a project did not go as planned,” “Tell me about a time you learned new software quickly,” or “Describe a time you received critique you disagreed with.”
2. Outline each answer in four lines: Situation, Task, Action, Result. Use a real project from your own work.
3. Record both answers in one take, one to two minutes each, without reading your outline.

Accessibility

Caption your video. Start with automatic captions (YouTube Studio Subtitles, Premiere Pro Speech to Text, Google Vids or Meet), then read every line and correct names, software terms and timing by hand. Automatic captions alone do not meet the requirement.

Submission

Submit your two outlines in the text box and the link to your recording. Record with OBS Studio or any recorder you set up in Technology Setup. Upload the video to YouTube with your Maricopa account as Unlisted, or to Google Drive shared with Maricopa, and submit the link. If your account cannot upload to YouTube (some accounts for students under 18 cannot), use Google Drive and add your corrected caption file under Manage caption tracks.
