Virtual reality is one of the latest trends in education that makes it possible to simulate a variety of practical situations. Practicing job-interview skills through virtual reality brings the corporate environment closer to reality. Collaboration between a technology company and the school was key in setting up the scenario for the interactive interview training, which was implemented in the software. The aim of this paper is to describe the positive and negative effects of using virtual reality in the practical part of students’ preparation for their future careers. The paper presents an evaluation of a pilot use of a virtual-reality course for undergraduate career-counseling students at a public university. The paper also evaluates the content and the chosen methodology for further possible use of virtual reality in teaching at the university. While modern technology and virtual reality is suitable for educational purposes, many variables have to be taken into account: educational goals, financial, time and technical capabilities of the school and the corporate partner, previous number of students, students’ experience with virtual reality, students’ previous experience with the rehearsed scenario, etc. However, the study also showed that the technology still has some limitations. Nevertheless, our pilot study has shown that linking learning to virtual reality is appropriate, possible, and feasible.
