As
part of my intensive practicum experiences, I am collaborating with Dr. Corey
Stocco on a research project that is focused on improving the interview skills
of college students. My responsibilities include analyzing and collecting data
on participant performance during simulated interviews. We are using Behavior
Skills training methods within our sessions. This type of training includes
instructing, modeling, practicing performance, and receiving feedback. Sessions
can either be in a mock interview style or training session style. During
training sessions, participants are given explicit instruction on how to
improve specific interview skills while also writing reflections and discussing
performance with Dr. Stocco. After only a few training sessions, participants
are providing answers that make me want to hire them! It is very fulfilling to
be a part of a project that not only helps me improve on my professional skills
(e.g., data collection, graphing, professional collaboration, etc.) but also
helps our participants with their professional goals. This is why I love ABA; behavior analysts help
clients improve on skills that have a meaningful impact on their clients’
lives!
