Recorded interview help needed (civil service)

Hi

I took the Dwp interview and I was awful!

Despite having suitable responses prepared I just turned into an incoherent mess.

I struggled to look at the camera, didnt get my key points across etc.

I have another 2 to take so wondered if anyone can offer help/advice?

Thanks

Hi,
For which post you have applied.
I know its hard as i have given some of the video interview, talking to camera makes me so nervous as well , i fumbled and worse is that you can not rerecord it.
i am also preparing what kind of questions they asked? How many chances you get?
My tip maybe practice in mirror.

Hi ! Can you access the questions to take notes of it before submitting the interview? I’m a little scared to open the link and record myself without any preparation. TYIA

You must have fully prepared for potential questions prior to taking the interview. You only get one minute to think about your response after the question is shown/asked before the recording starts.
🤞 good luck!

I will try and practice now and clear my mind I am just so nervous about it. What behaviours are you assessed with? The one I got in our area is Communicating and Influence , Managing Quality service and Making Effective Decision.

If nervous and you havent already, turn off the camera view and make it blur you out there should be an option to select this for each question

Get a few example questions and record yourself answering it. It'll most likely be super awkward watching yourself back, we all hate how we sound played back, but once you get used to watching yourself you will have no problem recording answers

Don't worry about focusing on the camera the whole time it's natural to talk expressively with our hands and look around especially when recalling information or memories
You don't want to look like robotic Zuckerberg
Have notes with you and pen and paper when you have the minute to prepare make bullet points to refer to when answering it
