So, you’ve been invited to perform a video interview, but you haven’t got the slightest clue as to what to expect? We get that you’re nervous – the truth is, most candidates are when it comes to video interviews. Being ready with the right attitude, poise and answers means preparing in advance – and this article is just what you need to start preparing!

Your interviewer is not a mind-reader, so finding out more about YOU may seem like an impossible task. In this article, we will delve into the soft skills you want to display and how they are assessed during your interview.

Interpersonal skills are powerful; they arm you with seven core super powers. Each of these influence your performance in the workplace and give you an advantage over other workers. An employee who possesses all of these traits can, without a doubt, be called a superhero!

Here it comes…the dreaded question, the one that will have you feeling trapped in the interviewer’s claws with no way to escape when they ask – ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years?’ No interviewer expects you to know exactly what will happen to you in the future. So then, why bother asking such a ridiculous question?

Most interviewers will, at one point or another, pose the commonly-asked question ‘what are your greatest strengths?’ If you’re someone who knows all of your best qualities and has no problem sharing this knowledge with the world; then this may seem to be a piece of cake. However, this question, like many others, has more to it than meets the eye.
