hey everybody Don Georgevich here with job
interview tools if you've been
interviewing for jobs for a while you've
probably come across one of these video
interviews hirevue is one of the most
popular companies that handle video
interviews and the way this works is you
know you send your resume out to an
employer or whatever and they call you
up and they're like hey we'd like to
give you an interview but not a real
interview just a video interview so
we'll send a website link to your email
go there answer these questions and then
if we like you we'll get back to you and
if we don't well then you'll never hear
from us again so if you've ever had one
of these they're probably kind of
awkward I've never met anyone who likes
them I've never one never had anyone say
hey Don I just love those video
interviews man give me another one
those are awesome nobody does that
nobody nobody likes them because they're
they're impersonal they're they're
awkward they're you in front of a webcam
and it's just awkward you're not used to
working in front of a camera and if
you're not used to working in front of a
camera or saying things you're kind of
kind of come across the wrong way and
you know they're gonna get a bad
impression of you so how do you do these
higher View and interviews in a way that
you come across so that you're someone
that they want to meet the first thing
you want to do you need to get a little
bit more comfortable in front of a
camera and fortunately I think you have
a camera either on your laptop on your
phone or whatever so do this practice
answering some common interview
questions on a camera and then you go
back and watch yourself and listen to
yourself and see see what you look like
see if you're smiling see if you have
just the straight stair face see what
you sound like
see how long but it takes you listen for
all the little fillers in your speech
like um and all and you know and see how
often that you do all that and get those
kinks worked out on your
time on your own camera and and maybe
you know maybe if you're like most
people you you might have to do this a
few times I mean most people they're
just not used to talking straight to a
camera with nobody being there and still
trying to be themselves that's the key
it's hard I mean when I first started
making videos here on YouTube probably
over 10 years ago
I was bad I mean some people might say
I'm still bad today
I don't know but it's different to just
look at a camera and some of my first
videos I was a very awkward and very
straight face and I'd just stare at it
and it was very uncomfortable and
unnatural so when you go to do this
higher view it's gonna it's gonna feel
that way and what's gonna happen for
what happens with a lot of people is
they talk too much
and hirevue will tell you you have
between 3 & 5 minutes to answer the
question well 3 to 5 minutes is a
lifetime to just sit and listen to
somebody talk for 3 to 5 minutes I can't
do that to myself three to five minutes
is far too long for any interview
question your questions should have
responses that are between 30 and 60
seconds let me just think about it think
about listening to somebody talk about
their experiences for five minutes
how are you gonna be able to watch that
now think about how the employer is
going to be able to listen to you go on
and on and on and for five minutes about
your experiences and then to the next
question
you can't nobodies humans just just
don't have that attention span and I
doubt that you are so engaging that
nothing against you but I doubt that you
are so engaging on camera that that
you're pulling them in and they're
they're just drawn into your video and
they just want to keep watching it so
practice short responses 30 to 60
seconds no more and then move on
short punchy and succinct so that you
can just go through this interview
quickly tell them what they're looking
for tell them what they want here now
what are they looking for and what do
they want to hear well they've already
told you that it's in the job
description so get that job description
out and go through it in detail
highlight all the key areas that are
important to them all the problem in
areas what they're looking for what
levels of experience all that stuff and
then start thinking about how your past
experiences relate to what they're
looking for and so when you go into the
higher immunity now you can start giving
examples that reference what some of
their own pains and struggles are or
what their future direction is or what
they're looking for and you can make it
more about them make me interview more
about them than it is about you I mean
that's what they want to hear they don't
want to hear so much about you blab blab
blab they want to hear about how you are
relevant to what they're looking for
that's gonna perk up their ears that's
what's gonna make them interested in you
that's how you're going to get their
attention and that's what's gonna make
for a really dynamic video interview for
you and that's what's gonna make them
want to call you and invite you in for a
real in person interview all right so
before your next interview before your
hirevue interview make sure you grab a
copy of the completed in the answer guy
now like I said you want to keep your
answers short on the hire of you
interview and that's what this guide is
all about I've always believed that 30
to 60 second answers are the best and
that's what this guy focuses on it
teaches you how to give short punchy
answers
so every question whether it's tell me
about yourself
why do you want to work here what are
your weaknesses where your greatest
strengths why do you want to leave your
job you know why were you fired
yeah whatever this guide is going to
teach you how to answer all of those
questions in the style that the hirevue
interview is going to be looking from
you and then you're just going to be
everything that but they want you to be
you're gonna sound like the person
that they are looking for and it's gonna
make them look gonna make them want to
pick up the phone and give you a call so

Amazon or any other job interviewing
sites you'll find that there's there's
all kinds of people selling stuff but
they like to they tend to want to hide
behind the scenes and they don't want to
get out there and they don't want to
take your questions not that they can't
answer them but I don't know some people
