Gwangju Buk-gu Operates 'Virtual Reality Interview' Program for Youth

Support for Young Job Seekers' Non-Face-to-Face Recruitment Including AI Competency Tests and Virtual Reality Mock Interviews

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju announced on the 17th that it will operate the ‘2022 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competency Test and Virtual Reality (VR) Interview Experience Program’ for young job seekers to help them adapt to rapidly changing recruitment methods.

The AI competency test is a non-face-to-face interview program that analyzes thinking and behavior patterns, used by over 500 companies and public institutions including Gwangju Global Motors.

The test consists of video Q&A, personality tests, and competency analysis games, conducted for about one hour, simulating the actual test process.

After the test, individuals can check their competency level, job suitability, and error rate.

The VR interview experience allows participants to select their desired job group, where a virtual interviewer appears and asks past questions for 30 minutes.

In particular, the screen moves according to the user’s gaze, and the interviewer’s facial expressions change, providing a vivid interview experience.

Participants receive interview attitude results analyzed for voice volume, eye contact, etc., along with expert feedback to prepare for real interview situations.

Eligible participants are unemployed youth aged 19 to 39 residing or active in Buk-gu, and applications can be made through the Buk-gu Youth Center website.

Director Moon said, “I hope this program helps young people overcome the burden of interviews and demonstrate their abilities.”

Meanwhile, Buk-gu is promoting support for language test fees, operation of an integrated youth policy counseling office, and region-led youth job projects for local young job seekers.
