Has anyone on here had any experience of video interviews?
I understand some of the TOCs are implementing video interviews as part of the application process. I don't know if they are additional interviews prior to being invited to a more formal face to face interview.
I am probably just as bad as Fred Flintstone in using modern technology and I have never used Skype or other devices where you can view people live.
I was actually invited for a video interview for a Virgin Trains role back in August but I was away for a few days in Wales at the time when they sent me an e-mail inviting me to record a video of myself. Unfortunately, I didn't have any Internet access during my break and the link had expired by the time I returned home meaning my application was all but dead in the water. I thought it was a bizarre request at the time but more and more employers seem to be using this method.
Also would you get suited and booted with a smart shirt and tie just to record something in your own living room? I know Virgin use this method and one of two of the Abellio TOCs seem to use it too. Anyone any experience of them and what actually goes on?
