This research aims at supporting job seekers through the unemployment spell. We are designing and testing technological interventions in the following areas: a. job search; b. interview training; c. self-presentation. We are building tools using advanced techniques from the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision to help job seekers enhance their interview related skills. The goal of these interventions is to increase the sense of self-efficacy of the job-seekers. The interventions build on Self-Determination Theory and Theory of Planned Behaviour.
