 industry so more and more I see what happens is almost like a multimodal interviews so there's the there was the in-person interview come in and meet one or multiple people and then you know you have a conversation maybe they ask you questions etc and there was the written test right or on a computer they give you technical questions you come in and answer them like a little exam there's also the online slash video interview which would be there these are preset questions let's say there are maybe five questions and they could be all over the place it could be a brain teaser question it could be a couple of technical questions related to your field and there are a couple of personality test questions right asking about your values and what's important to you and things like that and what you need to do you can't just type the answer you have to record you answering the question and the video recording so you use it on your phone or on a laptop with a webcam and you can do it anytime anywhere right so in your in your free time you can record it and submit it onto a website and but it's the type that I saw is actually a timed recording so you are flashed a question you have maybe like two minutes maybe a little bit longer for you to think and then you have the answer so it tests you obviously it how you perform under pressure right but also test your communication skills and it tests how how well you can handle yourself in an uncomfortable situation in this case you are not talking to a human you're talking to a machine and a lot of people get extra nervous because they feel that they are being observed right behind the machine behind the lens and and this could be repeatedly viewed by people and they just get stage fright almost so it's testing all of those things and I've seen otherwise perfectly good at candidates kind of just you know they just collapse under pressure and they start to you know their thoughts and their answers all over the place right but I've met them in person and they were fine so it's a it's a new format that I observed and and also things like the brain teaser IQ question may be completely unreasonable there may not be even a right answer but they are trying to see how you say I don't know when you don't know so you really you can observe a lot of things in a in an interview like this right how do you graciously admit that I don't know the answer but here's the best I can do and then just lay out your calculation or your logical deduction right to the best of your abilities and and I also saw some some candidates just could not handle it they just they just you know they just freak out because they just didn't know the answer and they felt like I completely bomb the interview what do I do right but you know knowing that there are challenges in life you don't have the answers even at work there will be situations where you have to tell your boss I don't know the answer but let me do the research and get back to you right that's perfectly acceptable you are not a superhuman computer nobody expects you to know everything so it's but again it's seeing how mature you are how well you can carry yourself when you are put on the spot when you don't have the answer whether you crack under pressure you know all of those things
