LA JOLLA, CA, February 03, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- With unemployment among college-educated workers likely to reach its highest level in almost 40 years, PeopleCurve Systems LLC launched a free practice interview service. Available today, a free version of the PeopleCurve Envoy online video interviewing service targets college career centers to help students develop job interviewing skills and successfully compete in the job market.
"Today's job market favors more experienced workers over recent graduates," said Joe Matibag, vice president, PeopleCurve Systems. "Like no time before, students must differentiate themselves and ace face-to-face interviews. The Envoy system lets them develop the communications skills needed for a successful interview."
Through the PeopleCurve Envoy service, career center counselors develop questionnaires with questions that may be presented in a face-to-face interview. At their convenience, students use the PeopleCurve web site and a webcam to record answers to the questions in an online video. To develop their interviewing skills, students can review the video and re-record their answers. Students and counselors can review the recorded practice interview while sitting together or remotely from different locations.
According to Matibag, "Mock interviews and practice interviews are some of the most popular and valuable services offered by college career centers. Demand often exceeds supply. This version of the Envoy service provides unlimited supply at no cost to the colleges or students. "
In addition, the free version of Envoy can help career centers attract more corporate recruiters and on-campus interviews. "Corporate recruiters are being highly selective about the campuses they visit," said Matibag. "Career centers can use this same service to differentiate themselves by helping employers get the most out of their on-campus interviews." With Envoy, employers can create questionnaires to probe for insightful information about the student's background. Before their on-campus interviews, students can provide this information by recording answers in a video interview. Employers can use this information to make the on-campus interview more meaningful.
Available today as a Software-as-a-Service, Envoy does not require any hardware or installation. College career centers, their users, and corporate recruiters can use the free version of Envoy at no cost.
