Honestly, I've been sat for three days with my interview tab open too scared to press start. If it was a call with another person, no problem at all but recording yourself is such uncomfortable

[Initiallyleo]

I feel like recorded video interviews are harder than in person. It’s tough sounding natural when you’re not really talking to anyone, and you get no feedback for how you’re doing. Your advice is very good!

1:01 1. Lack of preparation, practice
2:07 2. Surroundings, light, pets, background
2:42 3. Tech, check software, internet
3:37 4. Read the instructions
4:28 5. Not knowing how to close your answer, avoid saying "that's it", refer back to the questions with a quick summary

My mom used to tell me "remember, they're just people." This helped me relax, be myself and be more conversational

[Luke-qjjn]

these job interviews are getting stupider each year.

That's not an interview. Its an audtion tape.

These types of interviews allows companies and hiring managers to make judgements about you without the fear and worry of having to do that to you in person. Think about it. You are put in the hot seat and while you do your best to filter through your experiences to provide examples to answer their questions, the hiring manager may have already decided that they don't like you because of your appearance, your age, your gender, skin color etc... These type of platforms gives companies and hiring managers all the opportunity to make these judgements in a safe environment.

I had a similar interview today. It was horrible. I kept messing up, and couldn’t start over. It already saved my responses.
It’s actually harder than in person interviews. There’s no person to person chemistry. It sucks

[d.n.]

I’d rather just have an in person interview, over the phone, or an actual live virtual interview. I’m not sure if I want to do this

[suzyus]

Always at the interview time my heatbeat goes fast and mind goes blank.
Your video is really good, thank you

[andresenrique]

We as candidate should have a professional presentation video explaining our competencies and be able to load it to the companies hiring portals so we could avoid doing the same each time. If they are interested in you then they should require a live interview so you can explain your working experience.

[CPACareerPaths]

Due to the pandemic, everyone has virtual interviews/meetings. Great tips.

[aswini]

In my last interview.. the interviewer was in his home. While I was trying to answer a tough technical question, his toddler screamed really aloud from the adjoining room. I still kept a straight face and continued focusing on the question at hand and what I was saying, rather than pausing myself... I did not even give a smile to him even if I was dying of laughter inside. I guess that might have impressed him as I actually ended up getting the offer 😂

[annasamuelson]

I like the idea of first answering questions with my phone camera as practice! Have a few video interviews this week, so this will come in handy!

[Ansidion]

I fucked up lol. Felt I was ready then my mind went blank and stuttered straight away

[ovspears]

Job interviews are already stressful as they are.. but online makes it even harder and I've never gotten a call back after a zoom interview, because I get extremely nervous. I hope this doesn't become a thing for all companies.

[ancientname]

I really appreciate your shaped tip where you wrap up your answer by referring back to the original question.

[godsprincess]

I have an interview with Qatar on Sunday
I'm so calm now after watching this video. Please wish me luck guys🙏🏾

[angellacanfora]

I've always felt job interviews go both ways. Yes, you're trying to sell yourself and put your best foot forward but you're also sizing up the interviewer/company to get a sense if the job is really right for you. This kind of interview robs the applicant of that kind of understanding.
