Target population
Scenarios can be developed with clients of any age. In order that their formative effect
have a maximum impact, the scenarios must be chosen according to the age and particular
situation of each client: simulative and transversal ones are more frequently used in
secondary school and vocational school, while longitudinal, strategic and anticipatory,
due to their being complex and laborious, are destined for the end of the study cycle (high
school and university) and the beginning of employment or in special life situations
(especially of adults).
Exercises, case studies, examples
As an example we offer a scenario for a commonly encountered situation: an interview
for a position in a legal consulting company. The example combines the aspects of
simulative, transversal, dramatic script with elements of strategy SO (Strengths –
Opportunities) and at the end, with anticipatory offers.
The questions and answers of the subjects were selected from a series of real interviews
and are considered “typical” and “ideal” for the position. Tricky questions (1-3, 7-8,
9-10) check each other out (honesty grid) and key moments (decisive for obtaining
employment) are the answers provided to questions 8, 11, 14, 16, 18.
