Video Interviewing: Are You Prepared?

One of our corporate flight attendant forum members started a thread recently about an upcoming 3 minute video interview she was to have. This particular style of interviewing, unheard of a decade ago is growing in popularity and may soon become a method that more and more operators employ to screen candidates. Instead of going through the expense of flying you in and back for an interview, the video interview is used at least for the initial interview. Supposedly, if they like you, you’ll be brought in later for a face to face interview.
Oddly, the length of this particular interview is only for 3 minutes and it seems that in this case the candidate will be providing a 180 second monologue with no dialogue taking place. The typical video interview is much longer and involves back and forth conversation much as a face to face interview provides.
A few of us chipped in our advice, but I can’t say if it will help this person. Regardless, you may one day find yourself the subject of a video interview. How do you think you would perform before a camera? Knowing the answer to this question and taking the steps to be properly prepared for an on camera interview can be the deciding factor whether you are hired by the company or not. Welcome to the new age of remote interviewing!
