Behind the Scenes with Career Bytes

Career Bytes is a show produced by students who work along with educators and other Nortel LearniT staff to select interview candidates for the show. While the exact questions will vary from interview to interview, the overall concepts are the same.  We provide a Creating Career Bytes Toolkit that give the blueprint for creating Career Bytes; the tools (organized by video production stages) and videos explaining the why's and how's of creating Career Bytes.  (You can also go directly to the Creating Career Bytes Toolkit site map for a listing of all toolkit resources.)

These interviews research the interviewee's career, advice on achieving success and daily technology usage. The student hosts do a tremendous amount of research prior to each interview to help facilitate a casual, relaxed, informative atmosphere. Before the camera starts rolling the Nortel LearniT hosts usually sit down with the interview subject and get to know about them and their profession, by doing this the interview becomes more natural; connecting with the subject is vital to making the interview interesting and informative. Oh...and don't be surprised to hear the students ask questions about an interview candidate's high school experiences or classes…after all, the show does target a teen audience!
