Video Conference Allows Face to Face Interviews

Interviews happen every day by telephone and face to face meeting. Some interviews are for prospective employees seeking a position with a new company while other interviews may be to gain information about a particular person or accomplishment. Interviews for any purpose are not always able to be conducted face to face due to travel or time limitations. However, video conference enables face to face interviews without the interviewing parties being in the same room.

Take a moment to envision a press conference. Typically this is a room full of journalists in seats and presenters on a platform. The presenter will most often start with a brief speech and then begin fielding questions from the journalists present. Technology now allows a very powerful twist on this vision. The journalists are seated at their computer seats, while the presenter uses a webcam attached to their computer as the platform.

The new age of communication and broadcast has created dramatic advances through the use of technology. Businesses with remote employees may gather a panel of interviewers to assess new applicants in one interview fulfilled through video conference. This allows companies to save money on travel expenses while still benefitting from a face to face interview panel to determine the best equipped candidate to fill an open position.

Organizations may hold worldwide press conferences using video conference by publicizing the web link and code, thus allowing interested parties to access a webcast promoting their accomplishments or new releases. Attendees may listen and ask questions the same as a live conference. Many conferencing providers offer a question button for attendees to click which signals the moderator to allow their question to be posed in an orderly fashion.

Video conference is enabling businesses and organizations to operate worldwide without losing the personal touch of face to face communication.
