Dee Gilbert, Associate Director of Employer Development, recently shared some helpful information regarding virtual interviews.

In a recent YouTube Q&A, HireVue CEO & Chairman, Kevin Parker shares some top tips to help you prepare for an on-demand interview.

  1. Pick a quiet spot – we’ve seen some great interviews on mobile devices in the front seat of cars.
  2. Set aside enough time to do the interview. Most take 25-35 minutes.
  3. Research the job just like an in-person interview.
  4. Anticipate the questions – these aren’t top secret. Do your Googles.
  5. Use the STAR technique as a framework for answering behavioral questions. STAR stands for situation, task, action, result.
  6. Use notes – you don’t have to memorize everything or be sneaky with post-its.
  7. This isn’t a screen test or an attempt at a viral TikTok video. The content of your answers is the most important part of the process.
