[QUOTE="RB99, post: 28898, member: 4307"] I successfully did my AC for Latham's summer scheme a few weeks ago. I personally felt that doing the interview from home made the experience a lot simpler and relaxed. The stress of reaching the office on time or walking into someone else's office can often hurt your focus. There are generally gaps between the various elements of the AC (or at least for mine there was), so it's good to just take a 10-15 minute break before the next assessment starts. The key skills to do good in a video call interview is not too distinct from a real one for obvious reasons. Do not seem too over-prepared, give honest but succinct answers, and smile. However, a make or break skill is to definitely look into the camera (which you might have practiced while preparing for one-sided video interviews anyways). Do not be tempted to continuously look at the interviewer's reactions by staring at the screen instead of the camera. This skill is very important because many competent candidates still struggle with maintaining camera eye contact. A TCLA mock interview is a good way to practice this. In terms of logistics, be sure that your internet connection is strong, have a neutral background, sit in the quietest space possible, and some water handy (standard stuff). Lastly, get used to handling the video calling software you will be using before hand. Do a test call with someone before the AC to check your audio and video, and close all unnecessary tabs/windows during the interview. Know how to mute the call and other standard commands for group tasks. Happy to help with anything else! [/QUOTE]
