As the job market is remains tight, many career hopefuls are attempting to impress potential employers by any means necessary. While some people turn to tools such as networking, others are relying strictly on the interview process to make a good impression. However, many employers have cut back on making recruiting visits to schools, making it difficult for graduates entering the career field to get a meeting.

Many schools are implementing the use of video conferencing to provide virtual interview opportunities for their students, according to the Wall Street Journal. This technique is serving as a way for graduates to make connections with employers without having to pay travel costs.

Because the interview circuit is changing, career hopefuls should be prepared for any form of interview, treating it as though they were meeting the employer face to face. Presentation is important no matter how it's given, and graduates who are looking for work should try that much harder to make an impression if they can't have an in-person interview.

The government has recently been making strides to boost hiring by offering tax incentives to companies that increase their staff and retain new workers for a year, which could make interviews more likely in the coming months.
