hbmed Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Ran smoothly, bummer was how small the actual video windows were and couldn't find a way to make them bigger or really even see myself. They also were willing to start a few minutes early since we were all "there" ... so be prepared for that once you hit "start interview" No clue how the actual interview went haha, now we wait.

Moonlight2 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Were the questions super long like last year or they were mindful of the fact that an online connection might put the interviewees perception under strain?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say what they were like last year, this was my first application cycle. They seemed a reasonable length and the interviewers were also pretty cognizant of this being a unique/perhaps challenging situation- I didn't have any connection/internet issues though, so perhaps not the best judge, but I imagine they would be generous about repeating questions or parts of questions if needed. They did also split up some questions into two parts, but not sure if that's usual or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouspanda Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I feel like the ethical questions were super long! I had to get them to repeat one and they also kept asking me follow up questions when I didn't answer a part of the question...I don't feel great about my performance though.

I had a similar experience, also not feeling very good about how that went overall. Def more challenging and less personal than I expected it to be.

Owns123 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I didn't feel great walking out, felt very hard to talk about all my experiences so really only mentioned a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyYoda Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I felt ok walking out. I had tech issues where the audio and video cut out quite a few times and i had to get them to repeat one of the questions 3 times, and sometimes stop my interview response mid way for it to reconnect. i hope that they are lenient on that. Apart from that, the interview went by so fast! To everyone, I wish you the best of luck. This wait will be brutal but we're in this together. hopefully we will all do amazing! anon98 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takasugi Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Interviewers were pretty nice. The questions were very standard and nothing unexpected but i got tired as the interview was going on and started being too concise with my answers. Started off strong but ended really weak. Some of the follow-up questions were a bit repetitive. Really disappointed with how it went Moonlight2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegean Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 One of my panel members had a super thick accent which made it hard to understand ethical scenarios. I feel pretty screwed..They should have displayed the text on the screen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fymg1103yxy Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have few disconnection with one of the panel continue disconnecting, which made me very nervous and had to pause few times and re start my answer. Panel were very friendly but all had good poker faces. Questions were somewhat unexpected so I had to think about examples on spot. Not feeling I did well walking out of interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they minded the government ID thing too much, but I might have come off as really sloppy! And I’ve been cringing at my own disorganization and repetitions since yesterday!

dooogs Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Im obsessing about what constitutes a good answer. I felt good at the time of the interview. Now I am kind of doubting it? Halp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I made the interviewers laugh at the beginning and end of my interview and have been trying to focus in on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
