[QUOTE="Adanna, post: 61809, member: 9777"] Hey, I’ve not received the results yet, grad rec emailed me to update that I will receive a response with this week that is coming so take anything I say with a pinch of salt please. this was my third video interview for a vac and what I’ve learnt about myself from them is that every time I try to memorise specific answers word for word, I mess up usually because they don’t ask the question the way I had read it during prep. I think my biggest advice would be to definitely search through common questions (or questions they have asked in the past) and loosely plan them, maybe bullet points of areas you can touch on. This way if they ask it differently, you don’t get flustered because you can see key words in the questions and match them to the different areas you have already mapped out. There are some answers that are a permanent fixture in memory of you have experiences with interviews at this point and that’s fine, to be completely honest I do use the mixture of the two methods, but I think this method particularly has helped me to be able to adapt in video interviews. Think second biggest thing I’d say is speak slowly and breathe. Seems silly/obvious. But when I force myself to speak slowly my words come out so much clearer and professional. Again please take everything I say with a pinch of salt, especially the first bit, different things work for different people. And lastly good luck sis! You will be fine, and Willkie’s intro to the vid makes a lot of effort to make you comfortable before you start so I’d recommend you to pay attention to the beginning! :) [/QUOTE]
