Interview
I applied online an received a text asking me to answer screener questions regarding employment eligibility which seemed smart and efficient. After completing this I was directed to an automated video interview website that I found extremely anxiety inducing. You are shown a video of someone asking a question, after which you are given 30 seconds to come up with a response and 3 minutes to record a video of your response. This immediately turned me off as I am applying for a job as an engineer, not a content creator, and have some considerable anxiety when it comes to recording myself on video. I declined to finish the interview and I imagine they are missing out on a large pool of qualified candidates who are not comfortable performing for the camera.
