New Service Helps Jobseekers Succeed in Virtual Interview Environment

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 10, 2020 - PRLog -- In many industries, HR personnel in large companies began working from home in March 2020 after COVID-19 began spreading rapidly throughout the country. As a result, many job interviews that had been done in-person were now being handled by phone or using online technology, such as Skype and Zoom. In response, one local career services professional has launched a new service to help job seekers prepare for virtual job interviews.

COVID-19 impacted the hiring process at many companies, both large and small. Companies that were used to conducting in-person interviews changed to a virtual interviewing process, leaving many job seekers unprepared for the nuances of participating in a remote interview — sometimes with multiple interviewers on the screen.

Mandy Fard, of Market-Connections Professional Resume Writing Services, recognized a need to prepare her clients to succeed in this confusing new environment. In August, she launched "Virtual Job Interview Prep" a mock-interview process to help mid-level and senior candidates learn the strategies necessary for success when participating in virtual interviews.

"From what to wear (pants are a requirement, even if you won't see them on camera!) to how to position your webcam and light the environment appropriately to how to handle an interview with three or more interviewers conducting the interview simultaneously, this service helps give job seekers the confidence to succeed in a new type of interview," Fard said.
