My name is Owen Roth, and in this clip I'll be talking about how to prepare questions
for a video interview. Obviously any interview needs questions. If you're the one interviewing,
it depends how comfortable you are interviewing. You could plan it as a conversation or it
could be a very straight forward question and answer, you feed them a question, they
give you back an answer, you feed them another question, and those could be preprepared questions
obviously. Or you could have it like a conversation where it kind of flows in and out and that
might be one where you have multiple cameras, one on you, the interviewer, and one on them,
the interviewee, so you can have a back and forth conversation. So that obviously is something
you will have thought of earlier, but when you're preparing your questions, what I usually
do, personally, is get these little note cards and I'll write on them the questions, and
maybe not a lot of detail, it really depends. There could be a lot of detail, but usually
I like to ask open-ended questions and then, as they give me answers, they usually start
taking it somewhere and if we get off track I can ask them to embellish a certain aspect.
Or maybe it even opens up new areas and topics that I hadn't even thought of, or thought
they even had to give me, and then I ask them to embellish that. So you want to prepare
your questions and have a relatively good idea of how the flow of the interview is going
to go before you jump right in.
