QUESTION 14 OF 33

As our Academic Support Coordinator, you will be relied upon to plan and lead large workshops. Are you comfortable in this setting?

To be effective in this role as their next Academic Support Coordinator, your interviewer will be expecting you to have the ability to plan and lead large group presentations and workshops. Talk about a specific time that you prepared and delivered a presentation for a large group. Walk your interviewer through the steps you take in your prep work and your delivery to sell them on your ability to handle this aspect of the job.

"In all honesty, this was something that I dreaded early in my career as I had a fear of public speaking. But over time, I've gained a lot of confidence. For me, preparation is the key to successfully delivering a presentation. I make sure that I am confident and knowledgeable in what I am presenting. I prepare ahead of time for questions that I think will come my way. Then, when it comes time to talk and present, I like to focus on talking to one or two people at a time within the crowd. This was a technique that I learned from a former colleague, and it works great for me."

Anonymous Answer

I am very comfortable leading workshops. In my current position, I was often tasked with attending professional development and presenting the information that I learned with my fellow colleagues. It was through these experiences that I was able to practice my public speaking skills. I made sure that I was prepared and ready to answer any questions.

Jaymie's Feedback

Your response should reassure the interviewer that you're comfortable with this responsibility. If you can, share some insight into how many people you're used to presenting to if it will add value and demonstrate that you have experience with large groups.
