Saving your answer does not submit it to the hiring manager. You can review and edit your answer at a later time. Or even delete your answer completely by clicking the Delete button.
Video Answers
To answer the question by video, select the Video Answer tab, or click the Video -> Record Video or Upload Video options from the button bar.
Recording an answer with a Webcam
If you have a webcam connected to your PC, you can use the Video -> Record Video option. A video applet will automatically try to detect your webcam hardware. If the applet finds your webcam it will need your permission to use it. Click Allow to let the application interact with your webcam.
To start recording an answer, click the red Record button inside the video applet. To stop the recording, click the red button again. Once you finished recording, the video is automatically replayed.
At this stage the video has not yet been submitted to the database. You can decide whether to re-record the video or save the video to the database by clicking the Save button.
Before you click Save, you can record and re-record your video answer as many times as you like. However, you are only allowed to use the Save button twice for each question. You could therefore record and save an initial video, move to the next question or even leave the application process altogether and return at a later time to review your answer. When you return, if you decided that your first attempt was not as you would like, you can delete the saved answer using the Delete button. You can then record another video answer.
Please Note: it is important to remember that your second saved answer will be final. You will not be able to delete or re-record your answer once the second recording has been saved.
Video Upload
If you don’t have a webcam but can create a video file using another device, you can upload a video file using the Video -> Upload Video option. The maximum file size is 100MB per video.
We support these file formats: .avi .dv .mov .qt .mpg .mpg2 .mpeg2 .mpeg4 .mp4 .3gp .3g2 .asf .wmv .flv
Browse to your file and then click the Submit upload button within the upload applet
If you do not have any way of recording a video then use the Video -> Video N/A option. A message will be displayed which will allow you to enter an explanation as to why you cannot upload a video answer. Then click the Save button.
