Preparing for the big interview and looking for some help? There’s an app for that–several in fact. With a smartphone and a little time, the interested job seeker can conduct a mock interview to practice answering typical questions. The app will record the answers for the jobseeker to listen to, review, and critique. Practicing for an interview is always a smart idea, and employing technology to help can provide some benefit, but when preparing to be interviewed by a person, why practice without one?
The smartest jobseeker will seek out a career development professional who can provide insight and feedback during the mock interview process. This feedback provides the foundation for building strong interviewing skills. Having those strong skills can often mean the difference between merely surviving an interview, and receiving an offer. Something to think about, the next time you find yourself talking to your phone to prepare for your interview!
