Tips for pre-recorded interview?

[u/CaptPierce93]

So I'm finally starting to get some interviews roll in for me, and one of the newsrooms I really want is asking me to do a pre-recorded interview. Basically, they have a prompt of questions for me through a link and I don't talk to a person, I have to record myself responding to the questions.

Personally, I think it feels alienating and weird to take the human element out of the interview process because getting feedback in real time helps me gauge things a lot easier. But the job is promising and I really need something right now so I can't be picky. But if anyone else has tips on how to ace them, I'd love to know!

I thought that format was weird at first too. Although I ended up enjoying pretending like I wasnt talking to anyone, and that made me feel less pressure/anxiety.

One thing that helped me tremendously was prep prep prep. Google the company and see if you can find the pre recorded interview questions.

Brainstorm and come up with good thoughtful answers for each question. In STAR format. Chat gpt was helpful in helping me brainstorm ideas for this

Then write them all down. Practice practice practice.

Without these things I would have bombed. Good luck.
