Part II Instructions: Role-Play Self-Evaluation
Self-Evaluation Guide
Please address the following four areas in your self-evaluation. Please be concise in your response. Your reflection paper should not exceed 2,000 words. Clips should be created to demonstrate the skill you are addressing in your reflection.
1. Nonverbal Communications
Please reflect on how you “looked” as an interviewer, such as to what extent or in what ways you presented yourself as a warm and welcoming professional and showed your interest in the person. Identify effective uses of nonverbal communications on your part, and the nonverbal aspects that you would like to see improvement on in the future. Please feel free to use clips as illustrations.
2. Empathic Responding
Please identify two clips showing your use of empathic responding, preferably representing two different levels of empathic responses. For both clips, first, indicate the level of your response and justify your rating. Second, discuss how you came to that response during the interview and the effect of your response on the flow and/or the direction of the interview in each case.
3. Question Formulation
Please select two examples of question formulation in your interview. These can be either open-ended or close-ended questions. Discuss how well these questions facilitated the development of the interview. If they were effective in moving the interview along, discuss how they achieved it. If not, discuss how you might
