DAC Beachcroft video interview

[Lilz]

This has been omitted from the invite. Could mean that there isn’t even a time limit, they are already giving us 3 attempts per question.

I am sure last year it was 90 seconds per question and there were four or five asked.

I think maybe the question showed for approx 30 seconds on the screen and then you had 90 seconds to answer. There also wasn't a running clock between each question, so you could start the next question when you pressed the button.

You had 3 x attempts per question (3 in total, not 4) and then your recent attempt would be the one submitted (i.e. if you decided to press submit on attempt 1, that's fine, if you wanted another 2 attempts, attempt 3 would be the one submitted).

Thanks for this very detailed information! Does this mean that you can essentially have as long as you like between questions (until you press the next question button)?

Yes, this was definitely the case last year. However, don't count me on it for being the same this year.

has anyone attempted the VI this year yet?

Hey! Thanks so much for all this info.

Just for clarification, once you've received the question do you have as long as you want in between your 3 attempts to press record again? I hope I've phrased what I'm asking in an understandable way haha!

Have so much on at the moment that I'm genuinely dreading this interview!

Thanks again x

Hi,

yeah I think so. I’m sure this was the case last year!

Not yet, doing it this weekend! Do you think they're reviewing them rolling? Seems to be implied they're not in the email!

Hi

Has anyone done the VI for DAC Beachcroft yet?

 

[Anon 11031]

Nah I think they would have mentioned it. Plus, I’m guessing quite a lot of people have left it to this week to be honest!

With Easter bank holiday coming up, I would imagine so! When are you planning on sitting down and doing it? I've compiled a list of things I want to talk about but haven't actually practised yet.

Also, do you think it's going to be the same "what challenges do our clients face?" kind of questioning?

 

[Lilz]

I have done mine. Tbh I don’t think they view them rolling, I just wanted it out the way!

Hey, well done! How did it go? I have to be "that" person but were the questions the ones mentioned in this thread or were you surprised by anything they asked?

Many thanks,

Marie

Hello, anyone who has done this year's VI for DAC B, are you able to offer any advice in terms of what questions to expect?

Is there unlimited time between each attempt?

 

[Eliza9999]

Is there unlimited time between each attempt?

Yeah there is! A question will already be on the screen, so you have all the time you need to form your video response for your answer. Then whenever you're ready, you have 3 attempts to record. You can move onto the next question and it will already be on the screen. There is no timer for long you prepare for each answer! Hope this helps

Hoping to sit the VI at the weekend but I am so nervous as it’s my first pre recorded interview. Does anyone have any tips or know what sort of questions to prepare for?

 

[Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxh]

Has anyone done the VI yet? So nervous

 

[karinny]

Hey guys,

I did the video interview today and I just wanted to let you guys know not to panic! The process was really easy, there's plenty of time to prepare your answer. Even after you finished recording all your answers you can go back and record answers again if you still have attempts left. The questions aren't trying to catch you out either, they're quite simple and basic, nothing out of the ordinary. I had a few technical difficulties with the system when uploading but I emailed the grad recruitment asap but I think it was all fine in the end. So, I would suggest completing the interview sooner rather than later just in case something goes wrong and you need to let them know about it.

Best of luck everyone!!! Hope to see some of you at the AC possibly! Fingers crossed

Just done my VI! As it was my first recorded VI, I'm so grateful for the support in this forum in really makes the experience less daunting! For those who haven't done it yet, it's really easy to navigate and there's no time limit between the questions so no stress!

April will be long until they update us in May!

Happy easter everyone!

Does anyone know where to find a list of DAC Beachcroft’s clients? I can’t seem to find who their clients are?

 

[Lilz]

Does anyone know if everyone gets invited to the VI/ if most people do?
