Google is bringing to Africa a machine-learning-powered tool, which prepares job-seekers for interviews, to improve their performance., already popular in the US, enables job-seekers to undertake mock interview questions in various fields, including project management, data analytics, e-commerce, IT support and user experience design.
Speaking to journalists during a roundtable discussion, Ola Fadipe, senior director of people operations at Google, said the global internet company is passionate about nurturing talent and has been “practically thinking” about how it can help job-seekers. “I think we are acknowledging that interviewing and interviews can be really hard. That’s why we collaborated with job-seekers to launch this interview warm-up tool that lets you practise answers to questions that have been selected by industry experts.”“I think what is really special about this tool is that it lets one practise answering questions but then uses machine learning that has been developed by Google to transcribe the answers.
He added: “While I don’t expect the next few years to be easy, I am very optimistic about Africa’s future and how technology will contribute to economic recovery now and going forward.
