Customizable Interview Practice Solution Released by ThinkOptimal

With the release of OptimalInterview PRO, online career services provider ThinkOptimal has introduced the first enterprise-wise interview practice solution to be fully customizable with access to web-based coaching for a diverse range of career options. Career advisors and other professionals can use OptimalInterview PRO to record interview questions and coaching sessions in video or audio only that help job seekers prepare for aspects of the hiring process such as phone and face-to-face interviews and digital meetings. Those questions may also be categorized into broad types and subtypes for heightened organization and can include pre-recorded content from OptimalInterview’s own database of over 1,000 interview questions.

“With OptimalInterview PRO, there’s no requirement to build practice interviews using pre-recorded questions provided by the vendor,” said Dave McNasby, ThinkOptimal CINO. “It’s the first interview practice product that allows enterprises to develop their own interview questions and coaching. Now our clients can take full control of the interview practice experience and deliver 100% customized interview training to every job seeker.”

On the other end, job seekers use their webcams to record and refine their interview responses which can then be shared with career service professionals for feedback. Questions and coaching are available from any web-connected device, including smartphones and tablets running on iOS and Android.

“OptimalInterview PRO is a great way to involve stakeholders throughout the enterprise in mock interviewing,” McNasby said. “Career centers can set up recording access for faculty, alumni, employers, community members, or anyone who wants to lend their interviewing experience and expertise.” Administrators can also get detailed, question-by-question statistics to see which questions are most helpful and most popular.
