use the blur it helps soooo much honestly

Blur? as in background blur?

use the blur it helps soooo much honestly

Phew thats me done the video interviews. You do have to think fast. You also need to show photo ID and driving licence. For the BFA one I had to read out qualifications and at the end I had to upload all my documents so I suggest you do that first. For the BFO they didnt ask for qualifications just driving licence then I uploaded my passport at the end. My head hurts!!!

What types of questions expect. Do they ask for time you have .....
Or my situation questions.

Its more "how would you deal with" kind of questions. As in a colleague or a situation. I didnt get a "name a time when you did this" question. The BFA questions were definitely easier. The BFO were a bit more intense and more of them and needed a bit more thought but you dont really have the time to think. You get 2 mins to answer but there were a few that I stopped the recording when I said what I had to say rather than waffle on unnecessarily. I would say just relax and go for it. Once its done its done. There are no wrong answers in this one as its your thoughts and opinions. Good luck

Hi, good job on completing them already did they specifically say driving licence ? As I will receive my driving license in April

Well done..... How long was the interview? How many questions did you get

Yes. If it’s BFO then you definitely need to show it or can’t go ahead. Don’t think that was the case for BFA





The BFO was 15 questions. You get 2 mins to answer each one so the whole process can take around 35 mins including the tutorial bit then you have to upload your photos/qualifications depending what you are going for so make sure these things are ready to upload or you can’t finish

Honestly it’s all a bit of a blur!! It was questions like;
what if you don’t get on with a colleague?
how would you deal with a new colleague?
what do you do in your spare time?
is everyone entitled to an opinion?
how do you deal with change?

Whether we all get the same questions or not I don’t know. you didn’t have to give scenarios/examples to things although there were a couple regarding customer facing that I did compare to my current job. There wasn’t anything difficult to answer and everyone’s answers will be different depending on your own opinion and how you would deal with something. It wasn’t difficult and is over before you know it. The BFA one was easier with less questions.

Hope this helps.
