It\u2019s not something people have to do too often, and the unfamiliarity can heighten anxiety, especially when it comes to video interviews. With the shift towards remote work and digital recruitment processes, mastering the art of video interviews is a must have skill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide aims to help you with everything you need to know and provide expert video interview tips for candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding video interviews<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video interviews are a newer trend in hiring. Preparing for them may seem daunting. Yet, with the right approach, they can be navigated successfully. Candidates can make a strong impression, even remotely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interviews may be conducted virtually for all types of roles, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/unlocking-opportunities-exploring-graduate-programmes-in-ireland\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">graduate programmes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/apprenticeships-guide-ireland\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apprenticeships<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and internal promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The rise of video interviews: A trend shaping the job market<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online video interviews have seen a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/after-a-year-of-zoom-job-interviews-has-recruitment-changed-forever\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dramatic increase since 2020<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Employers are opting to hold <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/navigating-job-interviews-in-the-virtual-workplace\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual interviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a time and cost saver. It can be beneficial for the interviewee and the interview panel alike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Types of video interviews<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interviews of all kinds can spike people\u2019s anxiety. The remote nature of a video interview adds a unique challenge. Candidates should adapt their interview style to benefit from the virtual nature of video interviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do that, take a look at the two most common types of video interviews:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Live video interviews<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live video interviews are the most common type handled over video conferencing software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the details you need to know about live video interviews:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Real time interaction: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These interviews are conducted live, offering immediate interaction between the candidate and the interviewer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Platforms used: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common platforms include Zoom, Skype, and Microsoft Teams.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dynamic environment: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They mimic the dynamics of in-person interviews, allowing for spontaneous questions and answers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Preparation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Candidates need to prepare as they would for a traditional interview, with an added focus on technology and environment setup.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Pre-recorded video interviews<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-recorded video interviews, sometimes known as automated interviews, are less personal as there won\u2019t be an interviewer present. Instead, candidates will do a self-recorded video interview answering open and closed questions, which will be reviewed later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is how pre-recorded video interviews differ:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flexibility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Candidates can record their answers at a convenient time within a specified deadline.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Structured format<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Questions are usually predetermined, and candidates record their responses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Review process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The recorded responses are submitted and reviewed by the hiring team at a later time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unique challenges<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This format requires candidates to convey their personality and professionalism without the benefit of real-time interaction.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adaption is the name of the game. One-way video interviews can feel less personal. Focus on how you want to present yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conquering video interviews: A step-by-step guide to success<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successful candidates should come across naturally and easily, demonstrating confidence without appearing rehearsed. You\u2019ve already beaten out most of the competition by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/how-to-write-a-standout-cover-letter-for-your-dream-job\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">writing a winning cover letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and demonstrating your experience on a CV.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Preparation is key: Equipping yourself for video interview success<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for a video interview should be handled in the same way as a traditional interview. Hiring managers are trying to assess whether you\u2019re a good fit for the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with video interviews, there are a few specific things you need to do to be ready:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Research the company and role<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Dive into the company\u2019s history, mission, and recent news. Understand the job description and required skills. Keep a list of talking points so you don\u2019t forget.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Understand the interview process and format<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Know if it\u2019s live or pre-recorded. Familiarise yourself with the software to be used. Make sure to download any needed software before the interview date.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choose a suitable environment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Opt for a quiet room. Ensure the background is clean and professional. Keep animals away, as they can be a distraction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ensure proper technical setup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Check your internet speed. Test your camera and microphone for clarity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dress for the interview<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Wear a professional interview outfit. Ensure your appearance is neat and presentable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Maintain professionalism<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Practise good posture. Look into the camera to simulate eye contact. Smile and try to stay relaxed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a glass of water nearby to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/how-to-calm-pre-interview-nerves\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">calm pre-interview nerves<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Having a notepad and pen ready for jotting down any important points during the conversation is also a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Following up: Leaving a lasting impression<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your video interview, follow up with an email to leave a lasting impression on the hiring manager. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Send a thank you email:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Within 24 hours post-interview, send a personalised thank you email to each interviewer. Express gratitude for their time and the opportunity to learn more about the role and the company.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Add value: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briefly mention any ideas or insights that could benefit the team or project you discussed. This demonstrates your proactive thinking and commitment to contributing from the start.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep it concise: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your follow-up should be thoughtful yet succinct. Respect the interviewer\u2019s time by keeping your email to a few short paragraphs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Professional closing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">End your email with a professional closing, reiterating your thanks and expressing your eagerness to hear back.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal of your follow-up is to thank the interviewer, reinforce your suitability for the role and make a memorable impression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ace video interview questions: Tips to answer the most common questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what kind of interview you\u2019re doing, live or pre-recorded, it\u2019s also best to come prepared to help you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/how-to-calm-pre-interview-nerves\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stay calm during the job interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here\u2019s how to get ready for a video interview:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Prepare sample responses<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use the STAR Method<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For questions about your experiences, structure your answers with the Situation, Task, Action, and Result method. This approach helps you deliver clear and concise responses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Practise out loud<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Rehearse your answers to common questions aloud. This will help you become more comfortable with your responses and reduce filler words.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparation helps ease any nerves you may have. Managing Director of People Performance Neil O\u2019Brien suggests knowing the job, who will be at the interview, and where you\u2019re going can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/how-to-calm-pre-interview-nerves\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ease pre-interview nerves<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cStress is driven by a sense of loss of control. By following the steps below, we give ourselves more control and, thus, lower stress.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Demonstrate your knowledge and skills<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Match your skills with job requirements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Review the job description and note how your skills and experiences align with the role. Mention these specifically in your answers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use specific examples<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Provide concrete examples of your work to demonstrate your skills and achievements. Quantify your results whenever possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expert interview coach Paul Mullen has noted that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/how-to-show-youre-passionate-in-an-interview\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">passion and interest are important to hiring managers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBody language and tone of voice will be painting a picture for the interviewer, they will be reading these signals during the interview. Don\u2019t be a mannequin, let your passion come through in an interview.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Be enthusiastic and passionate<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Express genuine interest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Show enthusiasm for the role and the company. Explain why you\u2019re excited about the opportunity and how it aligns with your career goals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Let your personality shine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Be yourself. Your unique personality is a significant part of what makes you the right fit for the team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Ask insightful questions<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Research the company<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Use your research about the company to formulate questions that show you\u2019ve done your homework and are genuinely interested in the role.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ask about the team and culture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Ask <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/questions-to-ask-in-an-interview\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">questions about the role<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including who you\u2019ll be working with, the company culture, and how success is measured in the role. This shows you\u2019re thinking about how you\u2019ll fit in and contribute.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paul Mullen suggests tailoring your answers to common questions like \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/how-to-answer-the-dreaded-interview-question-why-should-we-hire-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why should we hire you?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRemember just like a cv, prepare your answer tailored for the company you\u2019re interviewing for, be concise. Being too general won\u2019t set you apart and it might also mean delivering a response longer than the average interview answer which is 1-2 minutes.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handling unexpected situations in a video interview<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In preparing for a video interview, anticipate potential technical glitches by testing your equipment beforehand and having a backup device ready. Familiarise yourself with the interview platform\u2019s features, such as how to mute and unmute your microphone or turn your video on and off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you encounter unexpected questions or technical issues, stay calm and address the situation professionally. Take a moment to think about your responses to unexpected questions, and don\u2019t hesitate to ask for clarification if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimise potential distractions by informing housemates of your interview and turning off notifications on your devices. After the interview, if any technical issues arose, mention them in your thank-you email, apologising for any inconvenience and thanking the interviewers for their understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ace your video interview with help from Recruit Ireland<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head over to the Recruit Ireland <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recruitireland.com\/advice-centre\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">advice centre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to find a wide range of information about job interviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether preparing for your first video interview or trying to refine your technique, Recruit Ireland offers expert guidance to navigate the process successfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From detailed articles on answering common interview questions to tips on making a great impression remotely, you\u2019ll find resources tailored to help you stand out in a competitive job market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Job interviews bring on the nerves.
