According to MS poweruser, interviewing may be one of the most stressful parts of getting the job you really want. If you are the first person in a field, or decide to try another career, realizing that you will face unfamiliar problems will confuse you. However, even the simplest question, when you are already in the actual interview, will stutter you unprepared* To solve this problem, Google launched a new interview warmup (interview warm-up) website *, which is part of the company's "grow with Google" and "career certificate" programs.
It is already available on the Mac's Google browser, windows Used in Safari for, Android and IOS.
The goal of the website is very simple. Users will see interview questions, answer them, and gain insights. In this way, interview conscious people can have the opportunity to realize how they answer interview questions and see if there are some areas for improvement before entering the actual interview.
Users will enter their answers to the questions orally. It uses artificial intelligence to transcribe users' answers in real time, although its ability will focus more on the context of users' answers than their expression (e.g., voice, intonation, pause, etc.). According to the company, the site is dedicated to Google career certificates, but it is still "available to everyone and has general questions that apply to many areas."
According to the interview warmup website, its problems can be applied to various occupations and fields, such as data analysis, e-commerce, it support, project management, user experience design and general.
The questions asked will be divided into different categories, such as background questions, Situational Questions and technical questions. They will be presented to the user one by one. Users need to click the answer button to provide their input (which will be transcribed automatically for the user), and then they can choose to go to the next question or repeat it.
Then, the answer will be displayed in front of the user. Google claims that all responses will not be graded to help users "build your confidence in an area where there is no judgment". They divide the incidental insight into three types. The most commonly used words, work-related terms, and talking points. The first one will check whether there is redundant content in the sentence provided by the user, so that the user has the opportunity to find other alternative words to use. On the other hand, the second item will emphasize the terms related to the job users apply for, so as to help users better understand whether they use a sufficient number of words and make their answers more reliable. The main points of the conversation are much more complex, but the amount of information is large. This category gives "suggested talking points for answering background questions": there are five sub categories. Experience, skills, knowledge learned, goals and interests. If the user checks the box when answering a specific question, they should help the user understand the situation.
The above information and insights will be provided after the question. "Try to reflect on what you said from the interviewer's perspective," the tip wrote. "Find out what you want to improve and practice again."
Users can copy the transcribed answers and even save the answers through a specific button in the prompt message. On the other hand, Google stressed that in order to respect the privacy of users, it did not save any audio or website data.
Interview warmup is not the only website created by a company like Google to help individuals find jobs. Microsoft has also recently led 50 other companies to create Neurodiversity career connector , this is a job listing website provided by different employers in the United States. This place is specially designed for employers looking for workers with neurological disorders. The companies belonging to the group are known for their neural diversity recruitment plans and support systems for these people.
