Introduction


Before your trainees go to a job interview, it's a good idea to have a few practices runs so that their answers are on the right track. The app "Simulation of job interview" will take them through a few common interview questions and give them a couple of tips on the interview process and how they might best be prepared.

The app consists of 15 small videos. The videos are separated into two types:

  • comic videos and
  • photo realistic videos.

Every video type has an actor. The actor of the comic videos is unnamed. That is the "person" who guides the trainees through few most common interview questions and gives a couple of tips for answering them. The second actor is „Paul“. Paul is a photo realistic person and the interviewer.
