   With games like “The Sims” and simulated worlds like “Second Life”, it was only a matter of time before this technology came to be. This will soon prove to be incredibly useful in education and job training. I expect this to become integrated into college classes like senior seminar, public speaking, or internship course meetings. This could even be useful in interrogation training in police forces or military.
   Although this technology is outstanding, I think that a useful addition could be constructive tips after replaying the interview. Nervous interviewers might not recognize how nervous they seem, even after viewing a simulated replay, because nervousness could be in their nature.

   Having been through multiple interviews with different companies I feel that each interview is different and you never know what to expect. However I think that there are certain things you can do to better prepare yourself for an interview and the more practice you get the better you get. I think that Jizen technology can help someone prepare themselves as much as possible for an interview but I don’t know how seeing it back through an avatar will help. I think if anything it would be more helpful to just have yourself recorded and that video played back to pick up on body language and understand what can be better. I think it is great that people can decide the difficulty of questions from easy or hard questions, but I wonder if the technology can specialize the questions to relate to the jobs that people are applying to to make the experience more realistic and prepare people better. I think that if these concerns were taken into consideration then this technology would be extremely helpful!
