Standout Jobs

InterviewUp is a new service for candidates looking to get a leg up in interviews. The service allows you to track a database of interview questions, and see potential answers. All of the content is submitted by the community. You can submit your own interview questions as well - questions you’ve been asked in the past - to get feedback.

InterviewUp explains the value this way:

We know there are literally millions of people in this world who have amazing talents, skills, and incredible potential to excel in their career – much like yourself. Ever been to an interview where you wish you had all the questions and answers before the interview started? Often times, the only thing that stands between you and your dream job is the interview. Imagine if you could easily find relevant interview questions to print out and practice with – how great that would be!

Or maybe some interviewer asks you an interview question and you don’t know what the correct response is. What if you could ask a community of like-minded people – all of whom are determined to achieve their ultimate career success. We have been there, in those exact same interviews. Sitting there answering question after question, you definitely can do the job, and do it well – if only you could pass the interview!

I think this is an interesting idea. The challenge is having enough user-generated content to make it worthwhile, so hopefully people begin to really use the site and then we’ll be able to measure the value and results.
