What kind of response did students have to the deployment of the silent interview booths at Wuhan University?

The deployment of silent interview booths at Wuhan University allows students to prepare for interviews in advance, reducing the stress associated with these interviews, especially when preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, job hunting, or teacher qualification exams. Many students appreciate the booths and even hope that the university leadership can increase their deployment to avoid long queues and crowds.

The interview booths at Wuhan University have been well-received since their deployment. Even netizens, upon seeing the equipment, have offered suggestions to their own universities, hoping to see similar booths on campus, demonstrating their high success rate. The staggered design of the interview cubicles allows participants to freely make sounds and perform various interview-related actions while using the equipment. Furthermore, the walls are covered with glass film, ensuring privacy for students inside and preventing their noise from disturbing others.

University students often need to conduct interviews for various matters on campus, so the demand for online interviews caught the attention of the university's leadership. They devised a comprehensive solution: installing interview booths throughout the campus. Due to concerns about effectiveness and funding, only one booth was initially opened. After receiving positive feedback, staff indicated they would increase the number of booths in the second half of 2022.

When university students have online interviews, they often have to choose to do so in their dorm rooms. However, the presence of roommates makes them hesitant to make loud noises or move around freely. Libraries, being quiet places, are clearly unsuitable locations for interviews. Demand breeds ideas, and the pilot program for interview booths at Tsinghua University has been very successful. Other universities should learn from Wuhan University and provide better support for students, enabling them to perform better in online interviews.
