Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (should be on google have a look)? It is a good one off guide for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
Life is too short to be working for someone else's dream. Be a billionaire of your own. If you want to go big, stop thinking small. Billionaires and successful people are not people who never fail, but people who never quit. If you want to be a billionaire, then think like one, act like one, and live like one because thereâs no other greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free of debts, All thanks to Mr carlos cause he made me who I am today through forex trade. He has helped me a lot with his trading strategies which helps me to earn $12,550 weekly. I really appreciate it and can't help but let others know about it. it is so suitable anyone can trade from anywhere and anythime, reach out to Mr carlos on IG @carlos_1uptrades. his indeed a God Sent
How do I end a live video interview? Can I just exit out of the page?
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
I understand Graham! I sure was uncomfortable the first time I recorded myself! But I tried to think about the opportunity and how much I wanted it, it helped me control my fear and just go all in. Im sure you can do this!! Remember everything seems hard and uncomfortable before you do them!
This is me right now omg.đ
@@humayrauddin2297 Practice with a friend...and RECORD IT! Watch and critique your practice interview recordings. Ask other to watch them too, and critique it for you. Apply for a couple of job you would like, but not the most important ones. "The more you do it, the more comfortable you become." After some practice....and a few actual interviews..you will feel MUCH more confident. NOW, go after your dream jobs! You WILL be great! ALWAYS, focus on the positive! If you believe you can, or believe you can't....either way, you will be correct! (Think about it!)
@@humayrauddin2297 omg its me now :( HOW WAS IT
@@humayrauddin2297 they have me 48 hours notice :(
I feel like recorded video interviews are harder than in person. Itâs tough sounding natural when youâre not really talking to anyone, and you get no feedback for how youâre doing. Your advice is very good!
I have bad anxiety but I feel better talking in person than over phone. I am hoping this is my first and only interview where I need to record.
I feel ya! I am not used to this new video recording situation and do much better with the old fashioned in in person interviews or even a phone interview.
That's not an interview. Its an audtion tape.
Chica Boom itâs what I was thinking. I myself am not good on video or talking to myself for that matter. I rather they have the interview over Skype
They want to look and see may they racial profile you smh
đđđ
@ЧДŃĐž why do you keep talking about âfile 13â. Idk where tf you heard that but the real reason you probably arenât getting jobs is because youâre doing something wrong.
@@dagreazy3815 I thought about that toođ€Šââïž
these job interviews are getting stupider each year.
You're not wrong.
Yeah. The reason why they invent stupid questions is so they can't be sued for discrimination, while still testing you.
For real I just gave up working for Dr Pepper because of this stupid video interview.
it's because recruiters are lazy and dont wanna work, so they give to you the onus to make their job easier.
2020 yeet
1:01 1. Lack of preparation, practice

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
Thank you we donât need all that extra shit
@@dev-gz3vn Hahahaha! I couldn't care less about your comment. I had my interview yesterday and was offered the job today đ
@@QT5656 you gotta be slow i literally said your comment was helpful
I said thanks for the bullet points to make the video points shorter
@@dev-gz3vn My apologies. Me slow? đ€ Maybe. Drunk and exhausted? Definitely. đ

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

Idk why Iâm laughing. I started recording and stared at myself lmaooo
@@Babygal_xoxo yeah itâs not easyđđ
I started and then turned off my WiFi đ I'm so scared, I'm really bad at speaking
@@randomfemale4322 Do lots of practise. That should help you out.
I had a similar interview today. It was horrible. I kept messing up, and couldnât start over. It already saved my responses.
Itâs actually harder than in person interviews. Thereâs no person to person chemistry. It sucks
Yeah I really don't believe in this interview method at all. If I wanted to do this I would've been a drama major.
Iâd rather just have an in person interview, over the phone, or an actual live virtual interview. Iâm not sure if I want to do this
same my guy
Same, even the thought of me having to do one of these makes me cringe so hard
@@barb6868 this is me đ° I was trying to apply to a minimum wage job but my anxiety took over..ended up not doing it as we
They don't even look at the digital interviews. You get emailed to schedule an appointment for an in person interview only to get asked the same shit
I canât bring myself to do it, itâs just so unnatural and each response feels completely forced. Much prefer in person interviews
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.
Yeah, away from any human being, great for psychopaths that can mimic the perfect employee that the company is looking for.
@@mateo3380 with all honesty, said individuals can mimic in a real life setting job interview as well. And in the same way, in a personal interview they can see all the demographic data...etc on you too...and in a normal personal setting they wouldnt react to those things at all. But most probably they would react to the content of your answers and you cant see that, which is a normal disadvantage and thats real.
Works both ways man. Little do they know when I'm getting interviewed is that I'm naked from the waist down hehehehehe
yep I feel that way all the time about jobs, Iâm a black male with dreadlocks so I already instantly feel like the odds stacked against me every single time I do a interview itâs sad I have to feel like that just to work
Sadly this is true
I'm what you would consider as ugly and I just know I will never get a graduate job etc
My mom used to tell me "remember, they're just people." This helped me relax, be myself and be more conversational
And now we dont even get people lmao
thank u

Thx
And not making an eye contact,which is stupid.
Thank youuuu
This comment should be pinned.
Due to the pandemic, everyone has virtual interviews/meetings. Great tips.
Yes
this is dumb af i've done alot of interview's for targets but they still won't accept it
Not in west Texas they donât
Always at the interview time my heatbeat goes fast and mind goes blank.
Your video is really good, thank you
Please watch this also czcams.com/video/GmDGDpUZ1DE/video.html
Same
Same. I always freeze up in any interview. Interviews are just really nerve racking for me.
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.
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 đ
Perfect timing lol
đ€Łđ€Ł
I do the opposite. I make a joke about the situation to show I'm human and have a sense of humor, and it works for me. I entered an interview during a thunderstorm and told them I hope it isn't a sign of the job to come and they loved it. I got the job.
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.
So glad Iâve found your page. So so helpful. Iâve decided to take a year out of my masters program due to many unexpected life changes and Iâm looking for a full time graduate role. Your videos have been so informal and helpful, thank you
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!
I have an interview & Iâm a nervous wreck đ€Šđ»ââïž wish me luck
Good luck @Glamour!! Im sure you'll do well! Remember, either you have it, or you'll learn from it! In either scenario, you'll have gained something that will help you tremendously in the long term. You can do it!! đ
Primal Career thank you đđ»
Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (Sure I saw it on Google)? It's a good one of a kind guide for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview minus the hard work. I've heard some awesome things about it and my mate at very last got great results with it.

Here after screwing up my digital interview!
Thanks a lot sir! My last hirevue interview didn't go well but your video gave me an insight to where I might have gone wrong.
I really appreciate your shaped tip where you wrap up your answer by referring back to the original question.
Thanks @Annette! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you so much for this video!! The tips were extremely helpful and was definitely useful for my interview. I got the dream job I wanted and am starting next week! Thank you again! đ
So happy for you Zhang!! Appreciate the comment! Good luck for next week, impress them right!
Slick presentation. Clear and correct length of time to keep you fully engaged. Very helpful - thank you

This is great! You put so much more effort into this than pretty much every other youtube tutorial, and it shows.
Thanks for the great tips bro- helped me to advance into the recruitment process
Thank you Mahdi! just got my first one. Great stuff thanks!
Thank you đ I watched your videos through out my recruitment journey. And I got the job đ
I stumble over my words and mess up so much no matter how much I practice. My anxiety gets so bad and it ends up dragging everything out.. it just feels so draining and exhausting.. âčïž
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.
About a month ago I applied for a job at Target. I got an e-mail from them about a day or two later. I was SO excited... until I read it and saw the link for this Hirevue bullshit. I had 48 hours to submit it. I just said fuck it, gave up and didn't record anything. I hated having to pass up the opportunity, but I just can't record myself answering irrelevant questions. I prefer to be interviewed in person, face to face.
Sameee
Very good video mate, thanks for sharing, I thought I had it covered but only had half of the things you mentioned haha. Getting your distance right is important, you covered that by saying to do the test question which I delft will do - you do t want your head filling the whole screen and looking up your nose like it does when I use my iPad.
I have an interview with Qatar on Sunday
I'm so calm now after watching this video. Please wish me luck guysđđŸ
Step 1: Avoid companies that use HireVue for hiring, unless you want AI to measure your skills.
Interesting!
The interview for me said that no AI would be used to review my interview.
@@elgarrison6179 They use it sometimes, probably most of the time. Even if they say they won't use it, I don't trust them anymore...
@@elgarrison6179 Like HR would avoid skipping work
@@elgarrison6179 It was a lie.
Thank you so much for this video! Haha that awkward ending to close a Q, fumbling for the buttons was sooo funny! Entertaining and insightful video! :)
I don't think we should try to convince the bot of anything. We should just say no to that kind of dystopian BS. I just declined an interview with a big consulting company and withdrew my application when I saw that they were using Hirevue.
folks NEED jobs...I think it also is phasing out personal interaction in favor of saving money. I think zoom mtgs are fine, but not everyone is great at videos. Or they would be making $$ on youtube
@@jjones40 Exactly. I have no plans to be a Social Media star. To judge me, like I am, is unacceptable.
This is pretty helpful for other virtual interviews such as in MS Teams and Zoom
Thank you great tips appreciated itâ can be so overwhelming.
This is super helpful! I received an invite to do a hirevue interview but have never done it before. Also when I tried it via the link given on my phone the âpractice questionsâ never even came up so I couldnât even do them and then got all flustered and closed it out to try later. Maybe Iâll have better luck with the app
One can only wonder what they do with your recorded interviews afterwards...
Good vid, appreciate the wisdom!
Thanks, I appreciate it :)
Fortunately, many US employers are gradually switching to traditional interview methods. Very few will continue using this hirevue bs
Omg, where have you been all my life? LOL! Great video, thank you!
Thanks Sandra! Glad you liked the video :)
Thank you especially for the last one ;)
You're welcome @James !! đ
I need to do HireVue Assessment by tomorrow, just what I need!
The tech check is SO essential. Great tips in this video!
So true! Even more now that everyone is on the internet lol! Thanks Jennifer!
I have Company. I think I won't using HireVue or any others video recording to filter candidates. I want to HIRE THE RIGHT / FIT CANDIDATES to the right position, NOT A CZcamsR!
Great info! Thank you!
Thank you for your guidance Brother... Finally got the Job... đ„łâ€ïžđ„ł
I still like in-person or even Zoom Interview better, heck, call is good too. This is too bad, I practiced 10 times for one question and still sounded weird and looked weird. Then I realise it lacks human interaction, I want to talk to other party, experience the conversation flowing, not thisâŠ
I have my first video interview to do and I am so nervous.. talking to a device is so foreign to me. Thanks for these tips!

@@proudofoneself it's a different experience that's for sure. Hopefully your one, like mine, will have test questions. That helped me loosen up and get used to talking to no one đ

Ok. I am going to do my first video interview in a while. So nervous, but im going to use the tips.
I've learned a lot from here. thnxx man
Hi!Thank you for these videos, they have helped a lot.Question, by any chance do you know if recruiters can watch all our retries for each question?
Many thanks for the advice. My interview was successful. đ
Thank you for the tips. I aced my interview with a second company after bombing my first Hirevue interview. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad to hear that @ech83!! đ
Awesome Info Iâm pumped
Just had one of these to do for the first time, and I think I bombed it. :( I was SO nervous! Idk what it is, but recording myself responding to questions from a computer just feels sooo unnatural. I feel like I did really badly, and it's a shame too because it was for a position at a company that I REALLY wanted to work at. I kind of wish I had just had a Zoom interview, or even an in-person interview instead! I prefer interviews that are more like conversations and don't make you feel so uncomfortable. :(
I guess my anxiety got the best of me today. :(
Did you get the job?
@@ryansalinas4665 I DID actually LOL!!! đ đđ€Ł I must have done better than I thought!
I got the job, have been working there for over a month now, and I LOVE it! đ
@@DestinyC1020 Congrats! đ
@@DestinyC1020 See everything else you said I 1000% relate to. Iâve never gotten an offer after Iâve felt like I bombed it.. which was pretty much most of the time⊠There should be a writing option for people with really bad anxiety.. Itâs gets in the way of so much whether we prepare for our interviews or not.. đ Itâs so tiring and mentally exhausting..
Great Video, very insightful
Thanks @Ryan!!
Congratulations for the video! It helped me a lot.
By the way, did you say "Xau or tchau" at the end of the video? If so, it means "goodbye" in my language (Portuguese).
ive only ever had one job in my life being retail meaning ive only ever had 1 interview and it was sooo long ago back when I was a juniour and I feel very anxious about interviews and even something as little as speaking on the phone even though im use to dealing with customers in a store, good video though
I didn't think my solo interview went well but I received an invite for another interview with people.
Will be doing my interview with vodadafone today, thanks for the tips
Good luck bro!! Let us know how you did!
Thank you for this awesome video

Thanks to you @David for watching the video :)
HireVue video interviews isnât an effective way of interviewing in my opinion. Itâs basically an audition tape that doesnât consider your resume or application in real time.
Just did an interview with this. I donât like it at all. I did my best but I would rather meet face to face. Not only that I researched their algorithm and itâs ridiculous in my opinion. Technology is going to define if youâre a fit for a job based off the way u look and certain words u use? Crazy honestly.
OldSchoolHead1990 yeah I didnât like it either. I felt stupid for some reason. I donât like being on video and I felt like an idiot talking to myself.
@@d.n.3652 agree. Everybody not comfortable being in front of a camera. I wasnât. It takes time to get used to that. Youâre not going to become a pro off a few takes. I got another offer to do another video interview but I am going to pass. Itâs not worth my time. I feel like the way their program is set up its really judgmental. The way you move your eyes or anything can make you miss out on the job. No thanks!
OldSchoolHead1990 it was a job at target. Honestly I just gave it a shot
@@d.n.3652Thatâs crazy cause mine was at target too. Lol! I got denied though. I applied for multiple positions and they sent another link to do another video interview. Donât think I will do it though. What a coincidence.
OldSchoolHead1990 Iâm much more better at in person interviews. Iâm not good at talking on video because Iâm basically talking to myself. Feels like Iâm auditioning for a role
Very helpful, thank you.
You're welcome @Eva ! :)
Or better yet, not take a job that uses that that sketchy app.
This was super helpful đ I have a Zoom interview on Thursday. Thank you!
The mistake is to even take this interview. We must just decline them. This is dystopian as fuck. If you don't participate, companies will stop doing this. We must not agree to be treated like this, but we must do it together.
Man I stay thinking this but then remember that Iâm desperate and need the job
good luck getting everyone else to join with you

3. What software, tools and technologies you used

I did that on my first question lmao
I hate these video interviews so much. No one is perfect when being recorded. So little mistakes being the deciding factor whether you get an income or not is the absolute worst. Often times you aren't going to get unlimited retries so if you happen to sneeze or stumble your words a little or even have to think for a moment you're screwed. And trying to please the bot before an actual person is a whole other issue. These video interviews can also lead to discrimination based on age, gender, race or even disabilities.
Great Video Thank You
