Interview Prep in Bodyswaps: A Toaster VR Workshop
Event box
In this workshop, we will demonstrate how to use Bodyswaps, a tool for UMN students, staff and faculty to practice job interview skills and other interpersonal skills. This can be a start of your self-paced journey to become more confident applying for jobs and internships! Bodyswaps uses virtual reality to place you in a realistic setting where you talk to an avatar, and it can give you feedback such as whether you're coming off too confident or not confident enough. It tracks your head movements and body posture to give you advice about non-verbal communication.
Register for the time slot you would like to attend. If the registration is full, you can join the waitlist and be notified if space opens. Can't make this workshop? Visit the Toaster any time during staffed hours to explore this VR tool!
