A job that is hard to picture from a vacancy text
Some parts of this work are hard to convey through conversations, videos or vacancy texts: the limited space in the mobile unit, working close to a client, and the fixed order of the steps.
That is why the focus is not on training, but on experiencing the work.
Inside a virtual mobile screening unit
Participants step inside a virtual mobile screening unit. The space, the layout and the equipment are recreated realistically, including the mammography machine, so participants get a feel for the working environment and for how close they work to the client.
The actions are deliberately simplified, so the experience suits a broad audience. The virtual client is semi-realistic: credible, yet comfortable to experience in a public space where others are watching.
Designed for open days and events
The experience is designed for events and open days, where it is used without explanation or supervision.
Participants do everything with their hands: no controllers, no walking and no teleporting. At the end, a clear closing scene refers them to the careers website.
Aim: a realistic picture before applying
The experience is a realistic job preview. It aims to clarify expectations and to deepen the conversation with interested people, through experience rather than explanation.
The intended effect is a more honest picture of the work, and fewer mismatches later on.
