We can now practice for a Google software interview.
Google has launched software to simulate a job interview called Interview Warmup.
Initially, intended for students of Google Career Certificates online learning services, this tool offers sets of five questions related to some specific field of work.
The fields in which it is possible to practice for an interview are currently limited to certain branches of the technology world such as data analysis, e-commerce and user experience, but there is an option that allows you to ask general questions. .
The Internet giant has indicated its desire to add more fields of work to its tool so that it can serve more people.
Three types of questions are asked by the software. They first focus on the background and personality of the candidate. Identifying a person’s strengths and weaknesses is part of the type of question one can answer.
Other questions tend to take the form of situations such as When are you trying to solve a problem on your own and when do you seek help from your colleagues?
The third type of question is only available when the user selects one of the specific areas, as these are technical questions related to the skills needed to work in these areas.
An artificial intelligence used for feedback
By combining the voice recognition tool with artificial intelligence, Interview Warmup can transcribe the answers provided and review them to be able to offer suggestions or advice.
At the end of a response, users can also view some specific statistics about it. The software will specifically indicate which words are most used, which words are specifically related to the selected field and which points are addressed. The goal is to allow the public to evaluate themselves and find ways to improve their responses.
The software, which can be accessed specifically through Chrome, is only available in English at this time.
