For those of you preparing to submit your video questions, I just wanted to make a formal post about the process I have found to be most successful in my practice.
NOTE: Some argue that you should "wing it" so you don't come off "rehearsed." As a professional interview coach, I caution against this. When you are struggling and straining to understand the question and search your mind for examples, the answer might not be great nor the presentation. You become flustered and and come across stressed to the viewer, making them stressed as well. The way to make eye contact, and have the confidence to be spontaneous, IS TO KNOW YOUR MATERIAL. Again - just broad talking points that will prompt you NOT a script.
Questions listed in chronological order; you may want to start from the bottom. It seems some questions have been rephrased; I’m including all of them just in case.
- I recommend that you review the questions, and come up with an idea for each one.
DON'T write out a detailed script that you have to memorize.
However DO brainstorm content for each question, and sketch out the main points. For example, write out something like, "discuss Napal story and (fill in blank thing you did) to keep my travel group safe in a blizzard."
Once you have brainstormed ideas for each question, put it to the test. Record yourself several times; iterate. One of the most difficult things is getting into a rhythm of the timing; what 60 seconds feels like. I have my candidates record themselves, upload to YouTube and send me the link so I can coach them around it.
