Hi guys! Does anyone have any tips for Mischon de Reya's chat-based video interview?
In particular, is it generally advisable to avoid (where possible) talking about experiences I referred to in my application?
As ever, if anyone has any tips, I'd be hugely grateful!
From what I remember from the open day insights and also doing the test:
1. The chat-based interview is to give more colour into what you've said in your main application. The purpose is to allow you to express them with full liberty and it does translate well if you manage to give suitable responses.
2. I used the speech-to-text and it worked perfectly fine (except for names, which you can edit it manually before hitting send). It saved me a lot of time (I completed the test in about 50-60 mns.
3. In the left hand side, you can see what are the points the AI taking notes of to send it to the grad team. I would suggest you to take a look at it constantly and tailor your successive inputs accordingly.
4. Towards the end, there is an option to add additional work experiences and details you wanna say, but it's just open text and you can't copy paste. So I would advise you to write them in a paper as notes, and read them out as a single message concisely, it helps to add everything without the pressure of token limit.
5. Be familiar with what the firm is looking for. That's what most of the questions are about.
6. After the video recording ended, I personally took the photos of all the notes the AI has made from the conversation, just for my future reference. I would suggest the same as to know how things went.
7. Treat it like talking to your chatGPT and not like an interview, it eases the situation and helps you have genuine conversation (which the AI is looking for)
Best wishes ✨
