[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 101006, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=17844]@SK16[/USER], [USER=211]@Idlewild[/USER] and [USER=5011]@OB[/USER] have provided some great tips on here. I particularly like OB's suggestion of having key points in mind ahead of starting, rather than attempting to memorise an answer. I always found when I tried to memorise an answer I would express myself less naturally (and would forget what I wanted to say during the recording!). Often too I would get distracted by the time I had left etc. so definitely try to implement what they said if you can. Similarly I would try to avoid writing lots of sticky notes around your computer/desk just in case you forget what you are saying etc. I found that if I had something to look at I would be tempted to just rely on it, which resulted in me answering less well. Looking back, often the best video interviews that I submitted were not [I]necessarily[/I] those with substantively the best answers. Instead, they were the ones where I presented myself in an authentic and natural way. I think many people reply in a very similar way to the questions asked on during VI (and a normal interview). A key differentiator is [I]how[/I] your answers are expressed and how that makes your interviewer/reviewer feel about you as a candidate. For a compilation of more general tips, check out [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/eversheds-vi.4658/post-99966']this post[/URL] which I hope might be helpful. [USER=1160]@Alice G[/USER]'s tips (included in that post) are gold dust. All the best for it and let me know how it goes 🚀 [/QUOTE]
