Common questions

Will this get me a job?
We can't promise a job, but practicing real interviews and workplace conversations is one of the best ways to walk in prepared and confident.

What is an AI avatar?
A realistic virtual person who talks and responds to you in VR, like an interviewer or a customer. You can practice the same conversation as many times as you need, with no real-world pressure.

What's the difference between one-on-one and group classes?
One-on-one is fully focused on your goals. In a small group of up to 3, you practice alongside others and learn from watching them too. Both are $86 per person, per class.

Can we focus on a specific job or interview?
Yes. Tell your VR trainer about an upcoming interview or a job you're interested in, and we'll practice for it.

Do I need to know how to use VR?
No. Your VR trainer helps you put on the headset and shows you everything you need. Most people get comfortable and acclimated within a few minutes.

Will VR make me dizzy?
Most people feel fine, since these classes are mostly standing or seated visual conversations. You can take a break or remove the headset any time.

What about seizures?
VR headsets carry a manufacturer warning for people with a history of seizures or epilepsy. If that applies to you, please check with your doctor before booking.

Can a parent or support person watch?
Yes, they're welcome to observe.
