Google has created a new free-to-use tool designed to help people prepare for job interviews........
The system, called Interview Warmup, is powered by artificial intelligence (AI), and creates interview test questions related to jobs in the technology industry. These include information technology and support, project management, data analytics and online sales and marketing.
Artificial intelligence is a theory and development of computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Speech recognition, decision-making, visual perception, for example, are features of human intelligence that artificial intelligence may possess.
Users first choose the field they are interested in for a practice interview. They are then asked a series of questions, which they can answer by typing or speaking into a microphone. If the user speaks their answers into a microphone, the system automatically turns what they have said into written words.
According to Google, there are three main types of questions: background, which cover the user's education and work experience; situational, which are about how the user would respond to certain scenarios; and technical, which are about skills that the user might need to perform the job they are being interviewed for.
The system uses AI technology to analyse the user's answers and suggests ways to improve them. For example, it can tell the user if they are using too many or too few terms that are related to the specific job they are applying for, and whether this will help or hurt their chances at getting the job.
Jasmin Rubinovitz, who helped create the Interview Warmup tool, explained in a video that there are currently more than 1.3 million job openings in the US for high-paying technology jobs across several different fields.
"We found that the one thing [job seekers] had a hard time with was interviewing," Rubinovitz said. So we tried to think: could we use machine learning and large language models to build a tool to help you practice for a job interview?" she added.
