With the pandemic, many companies saw an influx of students and applications and they had turned to these online platforms to help them with the hiring process, and I know many students out there like me who may not be prepared. This introduction of the online platform for interviews was new for me, and I regret that my first time using something like this was with a company that I was so eager to work for. I lacked the most preparation when it came to the platform being used. It was simply because I did not prepare well enough. This was not because of the company or the questions asked. This process was estimated to take about 25 minutes.įor me, the process took about 2 very long hours. Instead, I would be given about 7 questions and would have to answer each one via recorded video with only 3 minutes per question. Also, there was a plot twist – I wasn’t going to be meeting with an individual. Turns out that this company was using an online interview platform to conduct interviews, HireVue, and there were only 48 hours for me to prepare answers and submit the interview. I thought once I got the interview, I was in, right? I had all this research under my belt so I couldn’t be more prepared. I thought that the effort had to stop here.
I finally felt like all the effort that I had put into this process was worth it, but this is where it all started to go wrong. After a long two and a half weeks, I received an email letting me know that I had gotten an interview! I conducted research on them, held informational interviews with current employees, and even got a letter of recommendation sent to the recruiter by my wonderful colleague.
I put in all the work to get this internship. StandOut 101 How to StandOut during HireVue pre-recorded interviews!Īlmost exactly a year ago, I attempted to get an internship with a company that I wanted to work for SO BAD.
