How to conquer the job interview jitters when you're interviewing with an AI.

From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech.

I'm Stephanie Hughes.

Imagine you're getting ready for a job interview.

What do you do to prepare?

If you're me, you have your younger sister do a mock interview.

You also panic buy a professional-looking work bag to bring with you.

Now imagine you learn your interviewer is an AI.

This is becoming a more common occurrence.

Employers are outsourcing not just the screening of applications to artificial intelligence, but also the interviewing.

Ray Smith wrote about how to prepare for this experience for the Wall Street Journal.

For the reporting, he did a couple job interviews with an AI, and he said they were nerve-wracking.

Do you know what happens after the interview?

Does the AI then give recommendations to the human employer?

What can people do to prepare?

I will say this feels like a little bit of a slippery slope where at first, you know, companies were outsourcing screening applications.

Now they're outsourcing interviewing.

You know, at what point might they just outsource the hiring decision to the AI?

We'll be right back.
