Has anyone tried this yet? DD was given this as an alternative to a regular Skype interview with Loomis Chaffee. She said she would prefer a regular interview because of how nervous she is. But I wonder if anyone else has tried it yet?
I have been wondering about the same thing as well. It didn’t seem as good as a Skype one to me, though I can never know without trying.
Can you please explain what this is? I’m not familiar with it.
@sgopal2 Kira is a company that conducts interviews for many different institutions. First, you sign up. Then, you start the “interview”. If I am not mistaken, they first ask some essay questions that have to be answered in a specific amount of time, and then ask some questions and film the candidate’s answers. However, when they ask you the oral question, they give you some time to prepare, and then some time to speak- you don’t get to choose the length of your response. After the interview, evaluators from Kira watch and read the student’s responses, and rate them. They also state the student’s specific personality traits (e.g. a good leader, not so compassionate).
Yeah, that is basically how it looked. The only thing I knew to do to check out what it was watching a youtube video on it. I haven’t heard back from Loomis since I said she would rather stick with Skype - maybe that was a mistake.
@makp715 Is there a possibility that they only conduct Kira interviews?
I rechecked the email, and it really sounds like it was a choice. Maybe I misunderstood.
