COBE Career Services recently received a generous donation from Mike and Ann Sadler to install a high-tech video conferencing room with a Sharp 60 inch Class LED Smart TV and a Logitech high-definition webcam with a 90-degree field of view which students may use for job interviews.
Virtual interviews, including Skype and Google Hangout, are changing the way companies hire new employees. This technology has a prominent place in the interview process. While a Skype interview might not replace face-to-face interviews for some companies, it allows human resource personnel to get a feel for a potential hire early on in the process. Further, students and companies can expand their job/personnel search outside of their geographical area, save time and reduce travel costs.
Location and Reservations
The Skype Room is located in Career Service, room 1120 in the Micron Business and Economics Building. To reserve the room, call 426-3862 or email cobecareers@boisestate.edu.
