Is videosollicitatie een blijvertje?

Sollicitatiegesprekken kun je natuurlijk al járen via video doen, maar ‘dankzij’ het coronavirus lijkt het eindelijk zijn doorbraak te beleven. De hamvraag: houdt dit ook stand als straks (ooit) de crisis voorbij is?

Zoals elke crisis niet alleen ellende biedt, maar ook kansen om dingen voortaan anders te doen, doet ook de coronacrisis dat. Nu iedereen verplicht aan huis gekluisterd is, zien we zo ineens de doorbraak van videosolliciteren. Want nu een fysiek face-to-face sollicitatiegesprek nauwelijks meer mogelijk is, kun je via video natuurlijk wél nog kandidaten spreken.

Recommended by teachers

Case method | Cooperative learning

Concrete, realistic situations are individually analysed; afterwards, the resulting vision is presented and discussed in the group.
The individual’s vision is reappraised after seeking additional information. The different visions are selected and appraised.

Demonstration | Content-based

Presenting course material through visualisation.
As part of a demonstration, an individual (a teacher, student or guest) shows how something works by means of a visual presentation. It depends on the subject if this activity is possible and suitable.
In a demonstration it’s important for the teacher to provide structure. Afterwards, do check the extent to which the instructions and sequential learning steps have been understood.

Learning game with alternating groups | Group activity

Small groups of 4 to 5 students, heterogeneously mixed. The students asks questions to test each other.
Afterwards, three students who achieved a similar level sit at a ‘contesting table’. Here, they answer critical questions; correct answers score specific points (the audience can also participate in the decision-making).
The group with the highest number of points wins.

Simulation game | Cooperative learning

Role play with a well-defined structure. Conditions and requirements are attached to the roles. Because of its more theme-related nature, students feel less inhibited; more targets are attained with a cognitive focus.
For example: training for sales techniques, telephone enquiries, etc.
