Pre-recorded video interviews and how to prepare for them
In this episode, we break down one of the most important parts of the modern hiring process: the video interview.
I walk you through what a video interview actually is, why employers use them, and how you can prepare so you show up confident, calm, and ready to impress.
We also talk about how my experience as a recruiter and career coach can help you avoid the common traps candidates fall into.
You’ll hear practical tips on setting up your space, managing nerves, answering questions clearly, and presenting yourself professionally on camera.
And at the end, I share some funny (and slightly chaotic) stories about candidates doing silly things during video interviews so you can learn, laugh, and definitely avoid repeating their mistakes.
If you’ve got a video interview coming up or simply want to get better at them, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and the tools you need to nail it.
