[QUOTE="SoStressed!!, post: 217574, member: 42283"] I've applied for a firm and progressed to the VI, I haven't really done such pre-recorded interviews before and I feel so out of my depth. There was an initial 'practice' question that didn't count towards the assessment, but would be used to 'get to know me'. I felt it so stressful to see the timer go down and then being put on the spotlight!! I had 2 whole minutes to just talk about me, but used up about 40 seconds only. My mind went somewhat blank, and now I feel I have zero confidence to continue with the actual assessed questions! I have watched videos on youtube on how to prepare with VIs, so I know what I'm supposed to do, and how, but the confidence isn't there at the moment. The funny thing is, in real interviews, I'm not like this at all, I like talking to people, but this VI feels so impersonal, robotic and you're essentially talking to your laptop. *sighs* I realised this is a rather sad and self-depreciating post, but please share your initial VIs experiences and how you've risen above challenges since...
