My approach is to generally pretend as if I'm just talking to myself in the mirror (though obvs try look at your camera as much as possible) - I usually practise what I expect to come up (why law, why x firm etc, news story etc) in front of my mirror - and I also have bullet points on sticky notes stuck to the side of my laptop / a split screen between VI and my notes app of the key points I want to hit in potential answers which I find really helpful - just what works for me though everyone approaches them differentlyAsking out of curiosity..... How do you all approach VI questions? I feel so nervous speaking to a small dot of light near the camera of my laptop.
Usually I am not so nervous talking to people face to face, however audio calls or even video recording makes me so nervous that I don't get the appropriate vocabulary to speak effectively. Is it just me or does this happen to everyone else?
This is my first cycle of trying and I have been disqualified prior to the assessment centre stage (thrice) because I messed up the VI portion
Do you all have any tips to overcome this?
Thanks a ton
Also in terms of vocabulary its a sticky one because you don't want to sound over rehearsed or too technical, I'd say try to be professional as much as you can while also being yourself and don't get thrown off or panic if you don't word something correctly - best of luck
