  • and in this tutorial I'm going to teach you how to pass a video interview. If you have

  • a video interview coming up, please do make sure you watch this from beginning to end,

  • because I'm going to give you a number of video interview questions, and more importantly,

  • unique top-scoring answers you can't find anywhere else! It is my aim to make you the

  • standout candidate and to make you pass your video interview. And this is what I will cover

  • during this presentation to achieve that goal. I will give you some great tips for passing

  • your video or Skype interview. I will give you the common video interview questions and

  • top-scoring answers. I will tell you the qualities that you must demonstrate during your video

  • interview. And I will also give you two questions to ask at the end of your video interview.

  • So, four great reasons why you should watch this from beginning to end and also take notes.

  • Now, before I do that, a very warm welcome to this video interview training tutorial.

  • My name is Richard McMunn. That's me there in the center. And I've been helping people

  • for about 20 years now to pass their interviews and I always do that by giving you top-scoring

  • enjoy the content and I will therefore create more for you. OK, let's get into those video

  • interview questions and top scoring answers. The first interview question you will get

  • asked is this: Tell me about yourself? My tip for answering this video interview question

  • highly is, we need to give the interviewer a short, punchy and confident answer that

  • tells them straight away you are the perfect person for this job. And this is why they

  • ask this video interview question, tell me about yourself, so they get a feel of what

  • you're like and they will pretty much make their mind up in the early stages of the video

  • interview, if they want to hire you or not. So we need to give a brilliant answer. Here

  • it is. “Thank you for inviting me to be interviewed today. I am hardworking, conscientious,

  • professional and enthusiastic, and I feel this position is a good match for my skillset,

  • my qualities and the experience I already have. I believe one of my core strengths is

  • my ability to fit in well with any team, and also that I can learn things really quickly,

  • which means if am fortunate enough to get hired, I can make an immediate difference

  • to your company. Having studied and read the job description, I think I’m a great match

  • for the essential criteria you have listed and if I am hired, I will need minimum supervision

  • within the role.” That is a brilliant answer to that question: Tell me about yourself.

  • It is confident, and if you practice that a number of times, then you'll be able to

  • give it off during that first video interview question which will then serve the purpose

  • of giving you more confidence when moving forward for the rest of the video interview.

  • The next video interview question I want you to prepare for is, why do you want to work

  • for us? My tip for answering this highly is, employers and hiring managers want to get

  • to the bottom of why they why you want to work for their company. So in your answer,

  • you should show the interviewer that you have considered carefully why you want to work

  • for their company. And here's a great answer to this video interview question. “Before

  • applying for a job, I will spend time looking into the company to see if I can make a difference

  • to their team, and also if it is somewhere I would like to work long term. Having researched

  • your organization, I was hugely impressed with the quality products and services you

  • offer, and also your company values. If I get to work for you, I feel it will be somewhere

  • I can make a big difference and also somewhere I will be able to learn and grow within this

  • role.” You are showing them that you really have considered carefully why you want to

  • work for their company. The majority of candidates during the video interview will not have even

  • considered why they want to work for their company. But that is a really, really strong

  • answer. I still have some questions to go through. But when you're ready, if you want

  • to CLICK THAT LINK in the top right hand corner of the video, you can download my full set

  • of video interview questions and answers. It is my website, PassMyInterview.com, which

  • I founded last year to help people pass their interviews. Let's move on to the next video

  • interview question. Why do you want this job? Now, there really is only one way to answer

  • this video interview question to score highly. You have to REFERENCE the job advert in your

  • answer. So here is my suggested answer to the video interview question: Why do you want

  • this job? “I want this job for two reasons. Firstly, I read the job advert in detail,

  • and I believe the skills and qualities you need are an exact match for my experience.

  • I want to work in a job where I can literally hit the ground running and start making a

  • positive difference straight away. The second reason is, the stage I am now at in my life

  • means I am looking for a job long-term. You are an attractive company to work for, and

  • if I am successful during the video interview today, I plan to be with you for many years

  • to come.” What I like about the answer is, you are giving TWO REASONS why you want this

  • job. Two really good valid reasons! Again, the majority of candidates will not have considered

  • this interview question. They will think on the spot one reason why they want this job.

  • But you have considered it carefully. The next video interview question we need to prepare

  • for is, where do you see yourself in five years time? Again, there really is only one

  • answer to this video interview question. If you give the interviewer a hint that you will

  • probably move on quickly, you are less likely to get hired and get the job. Here is my suggested

  • answer. “I see myself still working for you at the same company, either in the same

  • role working to a very high standard, or even perhaps having gained advancement in a more

  • senior level role. As I indicated earlier, I am at the stage in my life where I am looking

  • for stable, long term employment with the same company. Being respected by my work colleagues

  • and supervisors is very important to me, so I would expect to be a fully trusted and reliable

  • member of the organization within that time.” That is a great answer for the interview question,

  • where do you see yourself in five years time? So, at some stage during your video interview,

  • they're going to say to you… “Okay. Do you have any questions you would like to ask

  • us?” My advice is to ask just two questions. And these are those questions. Q. What could

  • I do in this role specifically to make a positive difference to your organization? That is a

  • very clever question to ask, because you are showing them that you really care. You want

  • to come into this job and you want to make a difference. They might say to you, all we

  • want you to do is to provide brilliant service to our customers. All we want you to do is

  • increase sales, something like that. So it shows that YOU CARE about making a difference

  • to their organization. The next question is: Q. What are the plans for the company over

  • the next five to 10 years? Do you have any new and exciting products coming out? That

  • tells me you are interested in my services and the products that I've got coming out.

  • But it also tells me suddenly that you're thinking of staying with me for a long period

  • of time! And if I'm going to train you up in the role, then that is good for me because

  • I want a positive return on my investment after I train you up. I want you to stay there

  • for a long period of time. Now, at the end of the interview, I want you to say this.

  • So they get to the end. You finish the questions to say, “I'd just like to say this. Thank

  • you very much for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this position. I really

  • enjoyed the process. If I'm successful, I promise you I will work hard to make a positive

  • difference to your team.” That is the final thing you say in your video interview, and

  • they will be impressed. But that will be the last thing they remember you by. So when they're

  • thinking about either inviting you along to a face-to-face interview, or hiring you on

  • the spot, then that shows to me that you are polite, you are respectful, and more importantly,

  • you have really good intentions! Now, please do DOWNLOAD my video interview questions and
