Title	The perfect job applicant
Description	Object of the game: As the name of the game implies the purpose of the game is to allow players to become "the perfect job applicant" and get a really fantastic job. Context: The initial idea centered around body language cues but as the game has been developing, it was best to make this only part of the game. The game will involve role play where each player plays a character with a set of different attributes both good and bad. For example, the player is ambitious but belligerent. The overall aim is to collect cards that represent job qualities usually sought for in a suitable job applicant. He must also keep in mind that his initial attributes could work to his advantage or disadvantage and so they play a big part in winning the game. So in order to collect these cards the player will go through a journey of self amelioration interacting with the different players and with the different areas on the board that will teach him skills. For example, the coffee shop will teach him social skills. S/He will also be negotiating with other players and seeking to exchange cards that are necessary for him/her to proceed. (Similar Game: Prophecy on Scott's website) Target Audience: College ESL students. This game will provide a fun experience to know what is expected in a job interview but also they will learn a lot of job related vocab such as adjectives and useful expressions. Classmates who have already expressed interest in this idea: Maria Coronnel and Brian Dickey. Audience Expert: Lana/ Maria/ Brian Content Expert: Lana and Brian for ESL material but need insight on corporate world. Graphic artist: Maria but could use an illustrator to draw the characters. Overall facilitator: You are more than welcome to apply.
