Thank you for accepting to participate in this simulation exercise.

This is a 2-step exercise:

  • 1- The timed simulation of 90 minutes
  • 2- After the simulation, you will be asked to complete a post-simulation questionnaire

Step 1 – The simulation

Carefully read the following information and instructions before starting the timed simulation.

  • Make sure you are in a quiet environment and that you will not be interrupted as you will not be able to pause the time and will need to focus on the task at hand.

  • In this exercise, you are starting a new job, replacing a person who just left a company. You will find yourself in a context that is different from that of your current role but may be similar in some respects. There are various ways of approaching the situations you will encounter, what we want to see is your usual approach to work and problem solving. There are no right and wrong answers. Just react as you would in real life. This simulation is not a role-play. We want you to be yourself.
  • You received a Word document by email to use in this exercise. It should be open on your computer now. There are 2 sections:
    • 1- Notes – This is where you will be noting down all your notes and thoughts regarding everything you do over the course of 90 minutes. Save this document often!
    • 2- Calendar – This is an optional tool for you to use during the simulation if it’s helpful.
  • When you’re ready to begin, click on the START button below to access the simulation documents. These documents contain all the information and instructions you’ll need to complete this exercise.
  • To keep things fair, we ask that you please do not print, download or copy the information on these documents. We suggest that you keep them open on your computer to have easy access to the information. For this reason, we strongly recommend you doing this exercise on your computer and not on a mobile device.

Remember! This simulation is a timed 90-minute exercise; make sure that you will not be interrupted. The time will go by quickly so watch your time.

At the end of the 90-minute period please email us your Notes document right away at service@kccpositivepsychology.com.
