| Core Component | Recommendation | Identifier | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interview Basics | Allow learners to walk through Wondersmart to meet Molly | TAY-ASD; CAB |
Significant budget; additional learning goal; not unique to job interviews |
| Virtual Interview | Have SIMantha provide feedback on learner’s use of eye contact | CAB | Significant budget; additional learning goal; not unique to job interviews |
| Virtual Interview | Add a “Challenge” level that includes a timer and provides minimal feedback | TAY-ASD; CAB |
Significant budget including a technology change |
| Virtual Interview | Limit the number of available answers (four options at the easy level, six options at the medium level, and eight options at the hard level) to simplify interface and reduce the interview length | TAY-ASD; CAB; SAB | Program usability may be compromised; alternative solutions identified: to reduce interview length, the number of questions asked by the interviewer will be limited by level of play, and to simplify the interface, uncommon errors will be removed, leaving five to eight options available |
| Virtual Interview | Include audio and/or video to supplement feedback provided in the transcript | CAB | Significant budget; alternative solution identified: add video of SIMantha explaining the scores received after the interview |
| Job Application | Add ability to practice uploading a resume to the online application | TAY-ASD | Significant budget; additional learning goal |
