Online interviewing practice by video - great resource and idea

Now this is a very cool interview tool for anyone out there trading up jobs or trying to find a new position in this woeful economic climate.

Interviews are nerve-wracking for most of us and the more practice you can give yourself in advance the better. You only have seconds or minutes to make a crucial first impression and putting yourself through your paces here could make the difference between getting the position or not.

The site has a series of interactive videos to practise your interview skills with business professionals hosting the sessions, who  prepare you for the toughest questions and interview scenarios you are likely to face - "Most importantly, we want to help you feel confident and ready to answer any question thrown at you."

It's a UK site, with the biz. experts drawn from international and UK industry sectors and companies like The Apprentice, Ernst & Young, ITV, Virgin Atlantic, BSkyB; and the jobsite.co.uk itself.  "In addition to their difficult questions, the business guru interviewers pass on invaluable guidance on how to answer them."

Sounds good and is a great interactive tool for meetings and negotiations as well, really any business situation where you have to be poised and ready with your 'elevator speech' and a quick head on your shoulders.
