Abstract

Due to the expand of COVID-19, remote job interviews have increased, but many job seeking students feel anxious about them. In this study, an experiment was conducted in which a participant played a role of an interviewer of a remote job interview under some conditions. The participant’s eye gaze was recorded and his or her impression was estimated using SD method. It is revealed that looking at camera is important for an applicant, since the more he or she looks at the camera, the more the interviewer looks at his or her eyes and values his or her personality and trustworthiness.
