• In Event: Roundtables Thur2
  In Roundtable Session: SMT - Roundtables Thur2

Short Description

An online interview simulation program was used in Interpersonal Communication courses to compare preparedness and confidence in job interview skills between an experimental group, participating in four online interview simulations throughout the semester, and a control group that had no access to the online interview simulation. This presentation will discuss the framework and outcomes of the study and examine future areas of research with games and simulations relating to developing soft skills for job interviews.
