# Animated Marketing Interviews Illustrator Julia Durgee Created a Mock Skype Interview for Practice By | Published 2013-07-25 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marketing-interviews References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2013/07/24/live-animated-marketing-interview-from-julia-durgee/) & [juliadurgee](http://www.juliadurgee.com/) NYC-based illustrator Julia Durgee has created a truly unique way to practice for upcoming interviews with her animated marketing interviews. Using her artistic background, Durgee illustrated a fictional employer who sits in a fake Skype frame, engaging in a fake interview with Durgee. A chat box next to the screen shows the employer chatting with another co-worker about their interviewee's qualifications. This interesting approach to interview practice is both humorous and inventive, allowing nervous interviewees to rehearse a few times before their big performance. Although this was created solely for Durgee's use, hopefully she will release some more generic animations to help other job seekers with their long-time hunts for employment. With this animation, it's impossible not to feel confident when heading off to a potentially life-changing interview. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animated Interview Practice:** Opportunity for companies to create animated interview practice software or tools to improve the interview skills of job seekers. - **Humorous Interview Preparation:** Opportunity for companies to create humorous interview preparation methods to reduce anxiety and aid in calming job seekers nerves. - **Illustrative Interview Techniques:** Opportunity for companies to incorporate illustrative techniques into interview preparation to make the experience more engaging and memorable. ### Who This Affects Most - **Human Resources:** Opportunity for human resources companies to create innovative interview preparation techniques in an effort to hire better candidates. - **Career Development:** Opportunity for career development companies to create interview preparation solutions to benefit job seekers and reduce the stress involved in job hunting. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Opportunity for artificial intelligence companies to create interview preparation software that uses machine learning to analyze and improve the interview skills of job seekers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mock AI Interviews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mock-interviews.md) - [Mock Interview Trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interviewsim.md) - [Interview Preparation Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mockin.md) - [AI Job Interview Prep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interviewai.md) - [Interview Preparation Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-mock-interviewer.md) - [AI Interview Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interview-with-ai.md) - [AI Interview Training](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entretien-ai.md) - [AI Mock Interviews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invue-prep.md) - [AI Mock Interviews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mock-interviews1.md)
