Abstract
This paper explores the important factors of job interviews that can be gamified and incorporated into a virtual reality interview training application. Virtual reality and gamification have demonstrated benefits in training, simulation, and education. Specifically, virtual reality can be helpful in creating simulations of realistic job interview scenarios and environments for providing interview training for users. Existing interview training applications lack elements of gamification. In this paper, we have proposed a conceptual design of gamified interview training application in virtual reality. In the conceptual design, we have established six stages, each highlighting crucial aspects of interview preparation and training. Currently, a prototype for each stage exists, with each one connected and a user interface system setup.
