*Update 11/14* I constantly update the list of questions on my blog at https://mbaessaycoaching.com/2017/03/07 ... ions-tips/
The video interview is basically (and eerily) similar to the TOEFL Speaking section.
For the “give me an example” questions use STAR format https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation ... on,_Result - in a nutshell, tell the story beginning, middle and end.
Eliminate “ums” and stuff – but the key to doing well here is to be as NATURAL as possible.
Do NOT have a script on the screen and “read” from it.
Do NOT sound like a robot who memorized each of the answers.
Do make little grammatical mistakes – it’s charming.
Smile.
And all the basic stuff like dress accordingly, check wifi, be aware of your backdrop. *Do not have posters of naked women on the wall behind you.*

- You get 45 second to prep, 60 seconds to answer.
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.
