The VR Experience
Users of this VR job interview preparation session, will enter an immersive virtual reality simulation where they will be asked questions about how interviews make them feel considering past interviews, the interview they are preparing for or interviewing for their dream job. Once their concerns are properly identified, the VR interview experience will then provide training on self-counseling skills to overcome their concerns. Learners are also provided non-VR exercises to work on meditation and self-affirmation before a big interview. Once these anxiety reduction techniques are mastered, learners typically continue on to virtual job interview training where they can practice answering questions in a virtual interview. The combination of the interview anxiety training and the interview practice in the virtual interview training allows employees to fine-tune their body language, eye contact, and responses to confidently handle their next face-to-face interview.
