Hannah GoldenbergJob interviews, while commonplace today, were once nonexistent. Instead of proving their worth in a job interview, people were born into their jobs, and nearly everyone remained in their hometowns.
It took forward-thinking technology like the railroad, telephone, and Internet to transform the process of finding and landing a job. What was once inherited is now earned through many interviewing techniques.
Major breakthroughs include:
- Advancements in transportation
- The birth of the interview itself
- Adoption of technology into the process
- The rise of social and digital media
- The adoption of modern interview technologies such as video interviewing
