Speakeasy Launches One-Day Training Program Designed To Help Job Seekers Connect And Master Virtual Interviews
In response to high unemployment rates that continue to plague the nation, Speakeasy, Inc., the leading global consulting firm focused on professional communication development, today announces the introduction of Virtual Interviews with Impact. The style-focused program, delivered in two 2.75-hour virtual sessions over the course of a single day, is offered at a nominal fee in order to support the many unemployed professionals facing such a great need. The program is designed to prepare job seekers with the tools and education they need to navigate their way out of unemployment in what has largely become a virtual-only setting.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which caused today’s high unemployment rates, also has forced business to shift formerly in-person meetings to virtual settings. Job interviews have always been high-pressure interactions; today, the pressure is magnified by interviewees being forced to find a way to meaningfully connect in a more detached setting than ever.
“In the face of historically high unemployment, it’s essential that those seeking jobs have every opportunity to successfully navigate an entirely different interview landscape than has ever existed,” said Scott Weiss, CEO of Speakeasy. “So much of the intrinsic human connection is lost when a face-to-face meeting is reduced to a conversation with a picture on a computer screen. Knowing how to authentically connect with an interviewer in a virtual setting can be the game changer that results in a job offer.”

Virtual Interviews with Impact is a one-day, style-focused program that’s delivered in the same kind of virtual setting that participants will face when they attend a job interview. The program is designed to educate participants on soft skills, including awareness of how to use vocal dynamics to draw your listener into your message while interviewing virtually; ways to manage the pressure and stress of a virtual interview, including how to handle questions and answers; and methods for creating the impression you want – as a listener and a speaker – in a virtual interview.
