PREPARING FOR THE REMOTE INTERVIEW:

● Please use a computer (desktop or laptop) with an internet connection. Make sure that you
have a Zoom app (https://zoom.us) that is updated.

● The candidate shall identify a neutral and private location to effectively participate in the
session. There will be no additional participants observing the session.

● The chair shall be comfortable and it is strongly advisable not to use a chair that comes with
arms, wheels, or swivel mechanism.

● Limit direct and excessive sunlight and no windows in the background is advised.

● The space shall be clutter and distraction free. In addition, there will be absolutely no
interruptions during the session and no other than our zoom recording is allowed.

● As sign language is used around the face, and chest area, it is vital to wear solid color tops.

● Be sure to frame yourself in the Zoom screen so that you are visible from at least your
stomach to the top of your head. Frame yourself with only a small amount of space above your
head.

● The interviewer may ask you to adjust yourself so your signing is clearly visible.

INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATE:

We will have a conversation about social and work topics. The interviewer will ask you questions, and
you may ask the interviewer questions.

● We want to get the best sample of your American Sign Language (ASL) skills.

● In order to elicit your best ASL skills, the interviewer may ask you to “re-sign” (restate) some
responses.

● We will evaluate your ASL skills, including: (a) ASL vocabulary; (b) clarity and control of sign
production; (c) use of ASL grammar (for example, use of space, sign directionality, classifiers,
time indicators, and sentence and discourse structure); (d) non manual behaviors such as
facial expressions and body shifts; (e) fluency or smoothness of sign and fingerspelling
production; and (f) comprehension (skill in receiving ASL).

● Please try to maintain a good “signing posture;” that is, please sit upright. This should help you
show your best ASL skills.
● Please answer the interviewer’s questions as completely as possible.

● Do you have any questions? Please use ASL.

● PLEASE USE YOUR BEST ASL.
