Best Way to Train Students for their Job Interview: Practice Videos
A little known tool for training students for their job interviews is to use video. Rather than simply coaching students one on one -- or doing live mock interviews -- schools can start to incorporate video into their training.
Ziggeo has created just the system for training students to ace their job interviews. It's easy, effective and inexpensive.
How does it work? A school opens screening rooms associated with typical jobs students are applying to. For instance, one screening room may be for a job at an investment bank, another screening room for a position at a media company, and so on. Next, typical interview questions can be asked. For instance, "why do you want to work for us?" or "what distinguishes you from other candidates?"
Once the screening rooms are set up, a simple link associated with the particular mock position can be sent or posted for students. Students click on the link and then record themselves answering the questions they see on the screen. They can record themselves using their desktops, laptops, mobile devices or any IOS device. When they hit submit, the videos are sent directly to the screening room where school counselors (or alumni) can review them and give the students immediate feedback. With this feedback, students can then try again (and again) until their pitches are, well, pitch perfect.
Who is this training right for? Any student -- or in fact anyone -- looking for a job. Whether they're MBA students, college seniors or anyone looking for a summer job or internship, Ziggeo is a great training tool to prepare a student for his/her interview.
How can schools or teachers use Ziggeo? Schools can either use Ziggeo's existing platform found here or incorporate this training tool right into their website with Ziggeo's API. To find out more about the API, you can contact info@ziggeo.com or include your contact information here.
