3) Choose the VR/2D mode

You’re, by default, in the VR mode. If you wish to exit the VR mode and choose the 2D mode, you could press ‘X’, the cross, at the left-hand corner.

4) Choose the resource

You could select either ‘Interview’ or ‘mini-lessons’. If you wish to re-choose the options, you could always go back by pressing ‘back’ at the bottom of the screen.

If you select ‘interview’, you could decide the length of your interview practice (10, 15 and 20 minutes). Then, select the challenge level of your practice (easy, intermediate or advanced). After that, you can choose from as many as 15 industries and professions. You're recommended to begin with the EASY level and navigate to the INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED level after you've practised with the app a couple of times.

If you select ‘mini-lessons’, there are 13 topics that you could choose from. Each lesson is around 5 minutes, and the topics range from preparing a digital portfolio and a LinkedIn profile, cover letter writing, group interviews, answering standard and unexpected questions, body language in an interview to job interview tips by HR Managers/ Directors from the industry.

5) Adjust the sound sensitivity level

For the interview practice, you can adjust the sound sensitivity level by moving the slider slightly beyond your current voice level on the bar at the bottom of the screen if you don’t wish the next question to be delayed or to cut in as you talk as a result. You can always choose to ‘repeat’ the question, go to the ‘next’ question or go back to the ‘home’ page.

6) Rate your interview

After the interview, you would rate your interview performance through a couple of questions. By doing self-reflections and constantly practising with the app, you could improve your job interview skills in no time.

7) Receive feedback from the virtual interviewer

You will receive feedback tailored to your self-reported performance levels.

8) Listen to your recording

You could access your interview recording(s) under ‘Recordings’ on this website by ensuring you have logged onto it using your ITSC account.
