I think this technology is quite tricky. There is no standard to choose the best candidate. It seems very random, I think. I practiced a lot. At home, I recorded videos to see how I behave myself in the camera to check my expression.

AI面试官还挺棘手的。我感觉筛选标准非常随机，很困难，所以我也练习了很多次，比如在家自己录视频，看看自己在镜头面前表现怎么样。”

A forum held by the institute yesterday heard presentations from some of those companies about their new views of human resources work.
