The Best Interview Secret of Your Life Revealed by an HR
Finding a job is not easy, even for an experienced professional like Reza Loretta, who is currently working as an HR at a startup company. In her story, Reza shares an interesting experience about her long journey over the past year in finding a new job, after deciding to leave her position at a crypto-based company.
Reza's Journey in Facing Job Interview Challenges
Despite her experience as an HR and being used to interviewing many candidates, Reza Loretta admitted that she herself experienced a big challenge when she had to undergo a job interview as a candidate. One of her biggest difficulties was how to project her skills and experience clearly and convincingly to the interviewer.
"As an HR, people think it is impossible for an HR to experience this struggle, which is a job interview. Well, actually, even though I often interview people in HR, it turns out that I myself see myself experiencing that struggle," said Reza.
She felt a big challenge in highlighting her strengths, experience, and expertise specifically. Although she was used to interviewing other people, when she had to present herself in front of the interviewer, Reza felt less confident and was not prepared enough.
Unexpected Discovery: Elwyn AI
In her journey to find a solution to improve her interview performance, Reza met William, who then introduced her to Elwyn AI. At first, Reza admitted that she felt doubtful. Although she was quite familiar with the development of AI technology in Indonesia, she was not really sure whether Elwyn AI could help her.
"I know AI has developed in Indonesia, but I don't know what Elwyn AI is," She said.
After getting a deeper explanation from Clarisa and William, Reza finally decided to try using Elwyn. The results were very surprising. "It turns out that I found Elwyn, a platform that I never thought I needed," she said. She was really impressed because Elwyn was able to provide assistance that she had never imagined before, opening up new perspectives in sher preparation for job interviews.
Becoming More Prepared with Elwyn
The more she got to know Elwyn, Reza began to dig deeper into the various features offered by this platform. One of the features that caught her attention the most was roleplay, which allowed her to practice interviews with a customized virtual interlocutor.
"Every step, the more I learn, the more excited I get. Starting from creating a profile, choosing a conversation partner, to setting up the assessment rubric, everything makes me feel more prepared," said Reza.
Through Elwyn, Reza can conduct interview simulations more realistically and comprehensively. She admitted that after doing the training, her confidence increased rapidly. "Roleplay is a very helpful feature. It really boosted my confidence more than before," she added.
Although Reza was unsuccessful in her first interview because her preparation was relatively short, the experience did not make her give up. On the second interview opportunity, which now takes her to the company where she works, Reza did much more thorough preparation with Elwyn's help. The results were very satisfying.
"It was very helpful when I prepared for a long time. That interview was the best I've ever done in my entire career," she recalled proudly.
Not only memorizing questions and answers, Elwyn helped Reza present her skills, strengths, areas of improvement, and work experience in a more focused and specific way to the interviewer. With a more structured approach, Reza felt much more confident in every stage of the interview.
A Satisfying Ending
Armed with thorough preparation and stronger self-confidence, Reza finally received the happy news — she was accepted into her new company. "From there, I saw that Elwyn was very helpful to me, and I can say that day was the best interview I had during my time being interviewed for a job," she said enthusiastically.
This success was inseparable from Elwyn's role in helping her prepare herself optimally. Reza also gave great appreciation to William and Clarisa for the experience.
"Elwyn really helped me to be able to project my skills, my strengths, my weaknesses, and my experiences more specifically to the interviewer. That made me feel sure that I would be accepted into this company," she said.
"The confidence I got from Elwyn really helped me, not only in the interview, but also to feel sure that I would be accepted," Reza concluded with full confidence.
