For decades, we have embraced the face-to-face interview, typically in person and sometimes by phone.
One-way video interviews are an increasing method of doing the first round of interviews, although phone interviews (Links to an external site.) are still also widely used.
The purpose of the one-way video interview and the phone interview  are typically the same: confirm that the candidate meets the basic  requirements for the job. One-way or on-demand video interviews have  emerged as a time-saving option for recruiters who just have too many  screening interviews to get through.
What is a one-way video or digital interview? They allow you to pick  out a few interview questions, record them, and then send them to  multiple candidates you want to screen. In return, they record their  answers on video as well, and send them your way. Then you can quickly  scan through all the videos and pick out the best.
There are dozens of on-demand video interview platforms available, such as Montage (Links to an external site.), Hirevue (Links to an external site.), Interview Stream (Links to an external site.), and GreenJob Interview (Links to an external site.),  and they claim that these interviews are a great way to improve the  candidate experience. The videos allow the candidates to appear polished  and think through the questions, while recruiters can get a better  grasp of who the candidates are.
For this assignment, you are going to videotape yourself answering  two common interview questions of your choice.  You may use zoom,  screencastomatic, or the video recording feature in Canvas. Your video  must be embedded. Instructions and grading rubric below.

INSTRUCTIONS
Below are common questions that you may face in an interview.   Videotape yourself  answering two of the questions. You should be  visible and professionally dressed in the video. Clearly state which  questions you chose prior to answering. 
1. What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
2. How do you make yourself indispensable to a company?
3. What is your greatest strength? Weakness?
4. Tell me about a time when your course load (or work load) was heavy. How did you complete all of your work? 
5. Tell me about a time when you had to accomplish a task with someone who was particularly difficult to get along with.
