What is your greatest strength?
"I'd say my greatest strength is my systems approaches for getting the error-free job done ahead of deadlines and with consistency. That allows me to stay productive and find more work to do when I'm ahead of the game. It also frees me up to step outside my comfort zone to do whatever it takes to help the team. I often set the pace, and I've been told I am a natural-born leader."

HireVue's algorithm will look for any signs of a lack of confidence in your skills. They'll also spot indicators of being disingenuous, exaggerating, or telling the interviewers what they think they want to hear. For example, some non-verbal cues are gaze avoidance, the shifting direction of your eyes, frequent body posture changes, restless foot, and leg movements, fidgeting with your hair or pressing your fingers to lips, stroking your chin, covering your mouth or your eyes, among others. Some verbal cues they'll analyze include repeating a question before you answer as if stalling or speaking in sentence fragments. It will also flag any changes or irregularities in your speech pattern, such as a rising and falling tone. So make sure you practice plenty before your interview.
