I’m still searching for a job. On some of these applications they want a 1-3 minute video of me just answering questions to myself and send it in. If feels scammy, but maybe I’m just not doing it right. What do you do?

    I did one a few months ago for a university. When I was done it asked for feedback, so I submitted some along the lines of, “I understand you may have numerous applicants, but this interview format does not align with the respect or attentiveness I expect from an employer.”

    Needless to say, no call back

    Edit: a word

      As I stated elsewhere, I refuse to take part in any hiring process that involves a one way video aspect. But I’m not 100% against using it as a filter: The first bar in the hiring process is to refuse the video interview.

        I knew as soon as they sent me instructions that I would refuse the job, but I figured it was good interview practice since I’ve only done 3 in 10 years
