Best Buy places a great deal of value on the power of vulnerability, which they define as, "Being willing to show weakness today to be stronger tomorrow." So, don't be afraid to share a weakness in the workplace, as long as it is not a requirement for the job you are applying for. By exhibiting a level of comfort and confidence in sharing your weaknesses, it shows that you are self-aware and actively taking charge of your development.

As in any video interview, the camera angle should be at eye level. Positioning it too low will make you come across as domineering. Too high and you'll seem too weak or small. So center it, and make sure your lighting is equally balanced as well.

"I'd say that a personal weakness is that I am color blind, and when it comes to recommending televisions, for example, I can only attest to definition, but not to the color. To make up for this, I am very well-read, and ensure I am fully versed on all the specs. This way, I can share those facts, and then let the customer decide what works best for them based on their priorities."
