Rasmussen University, a hybrid university with locations across the country, is turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help its students prepare for their job interviews.
Students and alumni will now have access to an AI-powered interview preparation tool that provides tailored simulated job interview questions, enhanced interviewing techniques, and real-time performance feedback. The tool is from software company Hiration, which already offers Rasmussen students access to its AI-powered resume builder.
In addition to the interview and resume tools, Rasmussen also offers students access to Handshake, the college’s online career management platform that helps students and alumni find jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities as well as resources to help students build their careers.
“We are committed to ensuring our students and alumni have the resources they need to succeed in their studies and post-graduate careers. With the addition of the Hiration mock interview module, students now have a dynamic and interactive way to prepare and meet the challenges and nuances of today’s evolving job market head on,” said Elizabeth Lintelman, director of career services at Rasmussen University.
The new interview preparation tool uses ChatGPT to provide students with personalized feedback on various aspects of the interview process, including communications skills, body language, speech, and pitch variations as well as actionable suggestions on how students may improve their responses to questions. Additionally, students and alumni can conduct mock interviews at any time and from any location.
The new tool can be accessed via the college’s Hiration Portal. On the portal, students will also find video lessons on interview basics and practice sessions as well as opportunities to connect and share recorded interviews with university staff, faculty, and peers.
“Because AI technology simulates a wide range of interview scenarios and questions, students will enter their job search prepared to face any number of situations. This helps to reduce anxiety, increase confidence and ultimately, lead to more successful outcomes,” said Lintelman.
