InterviewHub: an innovative simulated interview experience
InterviewHub, a world-first, combines interview simulation technology with a purpose-built interview room to give students an authentic mock interview experience. It also allows us to make our own sets of discipline specific interviews, thereby providing an excellent vehicle for academic and employer involvement in career development.

Tertiary students will benefit from being better prepared for interviews in the increasingly competitive part-time, casual and graduate job markets. In particular, the simulation experience helps students to see the interview as the complex interpersonal process that it is. It is very powerful for students to focus on the process of the interview, rather than just the content. Students are also able to review and assess their interview performance immediately and receive structured electronic feedback from careers promptly and efficiently, which assists them to continually improve their interview performance.
Graduate employers will benefit from both a better prepared student cohort and a chance to work with the centre to create customised mock interviews and even recruit virtually using InterviewHub.
Improving student competence in interview processes in a very resource effective way is potentially of enormous benefit to the career practitioners in NAGCAS and the clients that it serves in both the employer and the student space. It directly assists students while also offering an excellent vehicle for both employer engagement and the integration of career development into the curriculum.
ANU is the first university in Australia to purchase Interview Stream and perhaps more importantly, the first university in the world to incorporate InterviewStream into the purpose-built space that is InterviewHub. Students dress for an interview, sit in a separate waiting area and enter interview hub via a separate entry. They then answer a random set of discipline specific questions and can access and review their own performance in addition to seeking the feedback of others. This is a powerful use of technology which provides a rich mock interview experience.
