Video interview prep guides by role and company
Full prep guides for the recorded video interview you actually got, by role and by employer. Each one covers the format, the questions, what good looks like, and the mistakes that cost people the next round.
These are prep guides for a recorded video interview, also called a one-way, on-demand, or asynchronous interview. You get a link, see the questions one at a time, and record your answers on your own schedule. No interviewer is on the call. A hiring team reviews the recordings later, usually before a live round.
Generic interview advice only gets you so far. A nurse, a data analyst, and a consulting candidate answer different questions, judged on different things, with different traps waiting for them. So each guide below goes role by role and company by company. You prepare for the interview you actually got, not an average of all of them.
How these guides are organized
Each role and company has two pages that work together.
- A prep guide is the full walkthrough. It covers how to set up, the format and timer, how to talk through the work on camera, the AI-scoring reality in plain terms, what reviewers are actually looking for, and the mistakes specific to that role.
- A question bank is the companion page: the real questions that role gets, two or three model answers in the STAR format, and the role-specific traps.
Start with the prep guide if you want the whole picture, or jump straight to the bank if you mainly want the questions. Every guide links to its bank, and every bank links back. If you want the banks on their own, the video interview questions by role index lists all of them.
Guides by role
These cover a job function rather than a single employer. The format varies by company, but the questions and what good looks like are stable for the role.
Guides by company
Some employers run a distinctive recorded round with its own steps, scoring, and reputation. These guides go firm by firm. Candidates often go looking for the exact questions a named company asks, so each guide pairs the company format with the matching role bank.
| Employer | Prep guide | Pairs with |
|---|---|---|
| Consulting (Big 4 and MBB) | The consulting HireVue guide | Consulting one-way interview questions |
| JPMorgan | The JPMorgan HireVue guide | Finance and accounting one-way interview questions |
| Delta (flight attendant) | The Delta flight attendant interview guide | Flight attendant one-way interview questions |
If your exact role is not here yet
We add roles over time, so check back. In the meantime, three pages cover almost everyone:
- How to pass a one-way video interview is the general playbook for any recorded interview: setup, timer, retakes, and structure.
- The STAR method on a one-way video interview breaks down how to shape a behavioral answer when there is no one to prompt you.
- How to do well in a HireVue interview covers the most common platform, which many of these guides reference.
You can also rehearse the real thing on the practice tool, which runs you through questions on a timer the way the actual interview does.
Before you start any of them
Whatever role you are in, three things matter more than polish. Read the first screen for the prep time, the answer length, and whether retakes are on, before you hit record. Light your face from the front and put the camera at eye level. And make your point in the first ten seconds of each answer, then stop. The role-specific guide above handles the rest.
For the wider picture of who is on the other side and why companies use this format, start with what a one-way interview is.
