A Guide To Video Interviews – Tips For Success

Video interviewing is the practice of conducting an employment interview over the Internet through video communication software such as Skype or FaceTime. Video interviews are of two types, one way video interview and one video call. For a one-way interview, the employer gives the candidates a series of questions and you record a video of your interview and send it for later review.

In the video call type interview, you answer the video call when the interviewer calls and talks to the person on the video. Conversations take place in real time, as opposed to unilateral interviews; You can see them and they can see you. Video interviews are becoming a common new trend among employers in the construction, engineering and environmental industries.
