May 1, 2005 -- A webcam and a computer connected to the Internet are all what is needed to practice job interview using the Coaching4JobSearch.com application. A library of the most
common questions is offered as well as suggestions to provide great answers. People in career transition can video-record themselves as many times as they want until they are satisfied
with the result. Watching their video-recording job seekers become aware of the "filler words" in their vocabulary, e.g, "um,"like," and "you know." They can observe their hand gestures,
posture, eye contact and make their opinion: "How do I look" and: "Would I want to hire me"
As they gradually become better at articulating a crisp and meaningful answer to the different questions in one or two minutes their confidence improves and their opinion about them turns
to: "I look great" and "Yes. I would hire me!". The benefits are numerous for the job seekers: they can spend as much time as they want to improve their interview skills, they can
practice at home and feel less embarrassed by their first attempts, they can reduce their time commuting to a career center.
The clients for this application are outplacement firms and career centers. Its purpose is not to replace traditional face-to-face meetings or phone conversations with the coach or
counsellor but to add a new dimension to the relationship. The benefits for the clients are numerous: a better service offered to job seekers, a better way to manage the time of coaches
as they do not need to synchronize their agenda with the job seeker, a level of productivity raised as coaches can build their libraries of answers (text or video-clips) and just craft
what is specific to the present situation.
Coaching4JobSearch.com is an application developed by Pacific Whistle, Inc. a Company providing web-based productivity tools for the enterprise.
