[@ItsMoneyMakingMitch]

thank you: 0:00 intro 1:14 set up your environment for better results - 1:44 lighten to enhance image 2:03 test your audio before hand or use a external mic 2:20 make sure you background is not messy 2:40 dress to impress- as you would for a real interview 3:07 make sure webcam is at eye-level - when talking look at the camera so the person watching feels you are looking at them (just as in a real interview) 4:12 relax, and be calm...everything will be alright. In fact, get excited! (glass of water) 4:26 make sure you understand the question so you answer it appriopriately - think of ONE thing to say, then after u can build on it if u wish. one idea at a time, not 10! glance at the time every 2-3 sentences

I did HireVue today. Used a bunch of the tips from this video. Thanks for the help! Prerecorded myself talking and realized I was blinking all the time and occasionally would do a weird head tilt. Had to consciously make an effort not to do these things while answering. I think answering to a camera alone in a room was the cause of all these weird ticks since I wouldn't do this in person. But idk haha. Thanks again!

Happy to read the video helped you Aaron! I hope you get the job, please keep us updated here 😁

[@stephmi6045]

My man! Excellent guide. This will definitely help me out. Haven’t had to look for a job for about a decade. Things have changed. Got an invite to do a Hirevue. You just got yourself a sub!

[@independentconsultant]

Thanks @Stephen!! Hope your interview goes well! Let me know if you have any questions! :)

[@hanidjari1174]

HireVue's how I got my last job. Definitely think these are good points

Your videos are fantastic and really helped me prepare for my 1st HireVue interview. I think video interviews can be good, and it's about proper preparation and studying.

[@natsumomoko]

This makes me calmer before my video interview, thanks

[@independentconsultant]

You're welcome! :)

[@benedettatoticcia]

Thanks! Video interviews are just a horrible idea in my view, but you give very good tips! :-)

[@kzigmant]

The company I work for interviewed me twice for promotion in the past. I thought it was going to be a one-on-one interview as or three prior interviews for past promotions that I was successful with. But these past two interviews I just had over the last two years I failed. I can't make it past the first question without my mind going blank and myself freezing up not knowing how to answer one of the most common questions, "what would make you a good fit for this position. ". This is interview 101! Nothing I haven't been able to answer before, up until the hire vue digital interview. I can't seem to get past this barrier.

[@reallifevideos6770]

The smily sticker idea was great...

[@chukwuebukaobetta6326]

Thanks very much for your educating videos about Hirevue interviews. I am preparing for one and your tips have been so helpful in guiding me through the preparation process. I pray I will make it through this stage and also the subsequent ones.

[@zhaoruizhang1241]

its so so helpful omgggggg the tip u mentioned just hit me!!!

[@evelynwu6881]

This is a really useful tutorial for how to make the video interview, especially for the HIREVUE interview. Using HIREVUE is one of the recruitment trends. Many financial institutions have adopted this online tool. Thanks for your sharing!

[@independentconsultant]

Thank you for your kind words Evelyn, I appreciate it and I am glad the video was able to help you :)

[@AndersLima1]

Awesome video! I really enjoyed it!

[@Danielschell]

Great video! I really appreciate the tips. I’m doing a video interview tomorrow - it will be the first one I’m ever doing. I have always nailed face-to-face interviews but somehow this feels very awkward. I’m applying for a job as travel agent in a very sunny country, what do you think? Should I dress up with suit and tie? Or should I pick a more comfortable outfit? I mean bringing out my Hawaii shirt won’t be the best pick, but wearing a suit as travel agent feels overdressed.

[@independentconsultant]

Hey @Daniel! Thank you for your kind words :) the secret here is to follow your guts. If you think a suit and tie feels overdressed then don't wear that! How do travel agents dress in the company your interviewing with? Checkout their website and their videos online and try to see how these people dress! Then pick something similar! :) If you find nothing, a sweater with a shirt underneath is my go-to. It's classy but not too much and is acceptable for most companies! Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions! :)

[@johnr3546]

Tried to do a hire vue interview yesterday ,I couldn't get past the second question without freezing up , I do really well in a REAL interview face to face , hire vue is the most demoralizing ,dehumanizing interview process imaginable and reflects very poorly on the company wanting to potentially hire you , they can't be bothered to interview you in person or even contact you , not to mention privacy concerns of video..I'll never do another video interview.

[@user59371]

Yeah it’s the company’s fault that you are awful at talking! 🤣 grow up

Hello there. I wanted to ask with regards to standing vs. sitting. I have an adjustable stand up desk and I prefer speaking while I'm standing up. What do you recommend?

[@dhanudhanu8101]

Thank you sir it is make me more confident

[@doyeew2175]

What is your thought on how to fill up an answer timed at 3 mins.? I find that excessive and I found myself staring at the camera smiling until it went to the next question.

[@independentconsultant]

You should be able to press a button to stop answering and skip to the next question - if you don't see such a button, I would try to add examples & answers to the question

[@jamesford6431]

Thanks for sharing this post, I've got a video interview for the first time coming up, I don't own a laptop or a desktop computer, so I'm counting on my phone. Have you done an interview over the phone before?

[@independentconsultant]

Hey James! I have not, but it's pretty much the same thing. Basically, make sure you download the HireVue App prior to the interview (I'll advise you to "play" with it a day or two before so that you're familiar with it). Once you downloaded the app, it's exactly the same thing as the desktop version :). Also, try to put your phone horizontally and put it against a book, a glass or something so that it stays still while you answer. I don't advise holding it because you want to be free when you talk and use hand gesture when possible! If you want more tips, I talk about using your phone in the next video - 5 Mistakes to Avoid While Doing a HireVue Video Interview here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGO5n32FrJp2mpI Let me know if you have other questions James!

[@lbshopsalot626]

Hi there, Cassandra referred me to watch your video! Excellent tips, I haven’t had a video interview yet but now I feel more confident. Thank you 😊

[@independentconsultant]

Hope you ace your next one @Ibshopsalot!! 😁 Let me know if you have any questions!!

[@onyinyeofor3329]

Hi Primal, you mentioned you would drop a link to your webcam and audio in the comments section. I can't seem to find it or else I didn't hear properly. I really need a webcam because my inbuilt camera is not working properly. Thanks

[@KamiK4ze]

would a headset be okay? The voice quality is so much better using one

[@independentconsultant]

It's true that the sound quality is better, but it's going to be weird visually. Video interviews are here to "replace" face to face interviews, and so a Hiring Manager will try to watch your video as if you were in front of them. If you wear a headset (which no one wears in real life interviews) it will seem like there's something off. If I were you I would avoid it just to make sure!

[@markoskorvesis2015]

Adjustable desk? Seriously? Wow bro, I have never seen an adjustable desk before! :D

[@independentconsultant]

They're the best!! You can many models at IKEA, you should check them out! :)

I'd like to know if you need to introduce yourself before you answer the question considering it's a robot and not a human on the other side.

[@independentconsultant]

Nope! Answer the question directly, because the person who will watch the video (already) know who you are because of your application. The only time you should introduce yourself is if the first question is "Tell me about yourself" or something similar!

[@lifeofewurama]

Alright, thank you.

[@tiffday41]

What should you do if you answer the question before time is up? Do you just sit there staring at the camera? Someone said there's no stop or pause button. Help thanks

[@independentconsultant]

Hey @tiffday41! If you're doing a HireVue Interview, you should have a button to stop when you've fully answered the question! Too many people would get in trouble if they didnt put a button to stop the question 😅

[@tiffday41]

Why do you alway say interview as enterview

Hahahaha, I think it's my accent. I should pronounce the T a bit more. Thanks for the correction :)
