Helpful Tips 

 
Location, 
Location, Location
Choose a well-lit space to record your answers. Positioning yourself against a neutral 
background, like a wall, and in a quiet space, will help avoid a distracting background.
Remember, your answers will be reviewed by members of our team – if you’re distracted, they 
will be too. 
Practice Makes 
Perfect
 
You can record answers to practice questions 
as many times as you like
in order to feel 
comfortable with the experience. We strongly recommend that you try a few practice rounds 
before completing the real questions. 
Take your time. Practice rounds are a good opportunity to work out the kinks – for instance, 
talking too fast or too slow, swaying, mumbling words, or gesturing at your screen.
Set Yourself Up 
for Success 
Eye Contact – 
Remember to make natural, periodic eye contact with the camera instead of the 
image of yourself on the screen. Looking at the camera will simulate eye contact with your 
reviewer which makes the conversation feel more natural. It’s okay to break eye contact, as 
you might during an in-person interview, to glance at notes or regain composure. 
Avoid a Jumpy Camera
– We recommend stabilizing your device on a steady surface to 
prevent any shaking during the recording. 
Fill the Camera Frame
– It’s suggested that you position yourself in front of the camera – at 
eye level – and that we see all of your head and shoulders. 
Be Prepared 
Test your computer and internet connection during the practice rounds to ensure everything is 
working as expected. Double-check that you have a full battery charge to complete the 
questionnaire. 
Dress to Impress 
Dress the same way you would if you were meeting someone in person. Yes, that means no 
pajama bottoms.
