[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 12101, member: 1"] A future trainee at the firm said she couldn't give specific details about the VI but said the following: 1) Ensure you've picked an appropriate and quiet environment. You should be free from distractions in that room so try to make sure all sounds from your computer and phone are switched off and that nobody disturbs you. Try to pick a room with good lighting and a plain backdrop so that the focus is on you. 2) Record yourself on a webcam answering practice questions once the room is set up to get used to looking straight into the camera while speaking, test the sound quality, and experience what thinking under time pressure is like. 3) Don't over-rehearse as this could end up making your answers sound very stilted and may mean that when a slightly different question to what you expected is asked, you may not be able to answer the question correctly as you're too fixated on your pre-prepared answer. 4) When you're actually doing the video interview try to stay calm and keep an eye on the time while you speak so you can wrap things up smoothly if you're running out of time. Try to look into the camera as often as possible so that whoever is reviewing your video interview can feel like you are speaking directly to them. [/QUOTE]
