Video Interview Help

[qwerty123a]

I have been rejected for several firms after the VI stage. This makes me certain that im doing something wrong there. It could be that I sound too rehearsed because of over preparation or something else. Does anyone have practical advice on how they did theirs? Like did u use up all the time given? How did you speak? How was your content? How did you deal with very unexpected questions? Please help as I really need to do well this cycle!! If anyone is able to send me an example I would really appreciate that too. Thanks

Hey! I didn't pass my first few VIs either, then I finally passed a couple. What I did better was I had an idea of what I wanted to say for obvious questions (Why law, why me etc) but instead of rehearsing them over and over again, I broke down my answers into 3 main points I wanted to make and wrote those down into small bullet points (maybe 5 words each). I progressed by doing this because even if I had memorised my answers, under pressure if I missed out a certain word I would lose my train of thought, whereas if I just needed to make 3 points I could say it more naturally.
