By Greg Rokos, Co-Founder and President, GreenJobInterview Its a new job-hunting world out there. In the old days youd search the Sunday classifieds, circle prospects, make a phone call, participate in an in-person interview, get the job, or not, and start the process all over again. Today, there are not only newspapers; theres also Craigslist, LinkedIn and a plethora of other online job boards and professional social networking sites. The jobs you are looking at, hundredsperhaps thousandsof other people are looking at and applying for, too. You are sending your resume out to more companies than ever, or uploading your online professional profiles to them, and more often than not, you wont hear back from any of them. It can be very discouraging. You dont feel special. You may even feel underserved. The Live Virtual Interview: Good for the Company and Good for You Many companies now offer live virtual interviewing as part of their recruiting process, saving themselves time and money. But how does it benefit you, the candidate, the interviewee? Before the interview: Live virtual interviewing saves you time. You dont have to reorganize your schedule to meet with someone who might only be in the office when its inconvenient for you. There will be no more days missed at your current job to go on interviews for a new job. You wont have to come up with creative reasons not to be at work. How many dentist appointments do you think your current boss will believe? Today, with live virtual interviewing technology you can interview in an hourfrom a mobile device, a laptop, or home desktop. There is no need to take off an entire day from your current job when you can interview virtually, confidentially and efficiently. Whether the company is blocks away, or states away it doesnt matter! The day of the interview: Your stress level goes down. In addition to the removal of guilt because youre not lying to your current boss, you are avoiding travel-related inconveniences. If the interview is local, theres no hunting for cabs at lunch time, worried that a coworker will see you. Theres no need for cab fare, or worries about traffic, or the interview going over your specified lunch hour. If the interview is for a company in another state, you are avoiding airport crowds, security hassles, flight delays, jet lag, wrinkled interview clothes, or potential out-of-pocket expenses. Eliminating the travel element means taking the edge off so you can be your best, and look your best. No sweat, literally and figuratively. You can stay comfortable and relaxed, and concentrate on the interview, not getting to the interview. Get to know the company through the live virtual interview process: Live virtual interviewing tells you this company is tech savvy and innovative, professional, and interested in keeping up with the technology tools of today. See into the company without going to it: is it casual or dressy, easy-going or corporate? Youll get a feel for the company through this unique interview process. You can meet with numerous managers and supervisors at one time and in one virtual room, another significant time saver. The bottom line: what you see is what youll get!
