Abstract

Interviews are a widely used method in which the performance and knowledge of potential employees are evaluated. Fresh graduates who come out to the job industry are rarely armed with prior experience in facing a job and securing employment, which leads to them underperforming at actual interviews. The lack of exposure to an interviewing environment together with inadequate preparation is the main reason for such underperformance. This paper examines the short-comings associated with graduate interviews and attempts to identify the predominant factors that would contribute to an improvement in performance. It then aims to propose a solution in terms of a computer based interviewing platform to solve this problem.
