[QUOTE="abhuzaifa02, post: 229406, member: 43461"] Hi [USER=42035]@Sharkfin[/USER] [B]My advice is not specific to Bakers video interview (VI) however, you may find it helpful for VIs more generally.[/B] By way of context, I struggled a lot with VIs and it was probably the stage that I found the most difficult to overcome (even more than assessment centres). For me, improving in VIs came down to three key things: [LIST] [*][B]Create a question bank [/B]– Create a list of questions including situational, competency, and motivational and practise these regularly. This will allow you to develop confidence in speaking about your personal/ work experiences. This will also prepare you for VIs for almost every firm and also assist you in preparing for assessment centres. [*][B]Focus on delivery[/B] – VIs are timed so there is only so much you can talk about. What will set you apart is being clear, natural, and structured in your response. Do not memorise answers (I made this mistake). Rather, get comfortable talking about your experiences in different ways. The more naturally it comes out, the more easily your personality will shine. [*][B]Practice, practice, practice [/B]– Leading on from point [2], it is uncomfortable and awkward speaking to a screen. To overcome this, simply open your camera and just start recording yourself answering questions. Watch these back and note where you can improve. This is probably the one step that helped me the most. [/LIST] Hope the above helps and good luck with your Bakers VI. 👍 [/QUOTE]
