AI Mock Interview
This assignment measures Module Objective 7.3, which supports Course Competency 7.
Objectives
- 7.3 Explain which two pieces of AI interview feedback you will use and which one you reject, with a reason for each. (Course Competency 7)
Overview
In this interview Gemini plays the hiring manager for a real job you choose, asks one question at a time and then gives feedback. You may practice as many times as you like; you submit one complete session and your judgment of the feedback.
10 points, Exercises. About 1.5 hours.
Instructions
- Choose a real posting in your field and copy its full text.
- Go to Gemini with your Maricopa account or open the Gemini app signed in with your Maricopa account.
- Paste the posting and then this prompt: “You are the hiring manager for this job. Interview me for it. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. Ask six questions: two about my experience, two behavioral questions, one about my portfolio and one about why I want this job. Do not give feedback until I say ‘end interview.’ Then rate each answer for clarity, specific examples and the STAR method, and name one improvement for each answer.”
- Select Live to answer out loud. Students under 18: Gemini Live is not available on accounts for students under 18 (Google, Gemini feature access by age). Type your answers in the chat instead; typed sessions are accepted for everyone and graded the same way.
- Keep your portfolio open and refer to specific projects.
- After six answers, say or type “end interview” and read the feedback.
- Copy the full conversation (questions, your answers and the feedback) into a Google Doc shared with your instructor.
- At the end of the Doc, in five to seven sentences, explain which two pieces of feedback you will use and which one you reject, with a reason for each, and rewrite one answer with the STAR method.
Accessibility
Gemini Live keeps a written transcript of the spoken session, and typed answers are accepted, so the assignment works with a screen reader, a keyboard or speech. Use a real heading for the transcript and one for your response.
