Once selected you will get a deadline to submit the video essay. You schedule your own interview, once matched with the person. So its not like “before or after” the interview

What is the question for the video response?

Share something that you wish people knew about you. 1 minute video.

Same for everyone? This is not Kira Type of thing?

Not a kira thing. A self recorded 1-minute video. Seems like they are huge into video essays, because they also have one for waitlist updates.

Thank you. Got it. I ask people to submit a one minute video for product management internship applicants, and having done this for five years, I would say that the video has the biggest impact on my decision. It’s the first thing I look at and decide if it’s worth to look at anything else. Here is why: 1. If someone submitted the crappy video, that means they didn’t even listen to it and didn’t test it which means they would be a crappy product manager 2. If they’re rambling and not able to coherently communicate a message, they will be a crappy product manager 3. If they are looking not presentable and didn’t bother to not be embarrassing, they will be a crappy product manager. 4. Did they take it seriously? If they did not take the simple ask seriously, how can I trust him with anything more serious? PS. It’s enough to probably see about 5 to 10 seconds of a video for me to make a decision. I wonder if they have figured out the same thing 👀
