What does integrity mean to you?
Part of determining whether they can trust you to serve as a representative of their company is ensuring you would live according to their values and their code of conduct and ethics. As Boeing's CEO, Dave Calhoun, once said, "You must achieve the confidence of knowing that you possess absolute, unbending, unimpeachable integrity. Everyone must know that. Above all else, it is integrity that defines your character."
HireVue advertises "Virtual interviewing is similar to the video calls many of us have been using. Since you can interview from anywhere, make sure it's somewhere you're comfortable." They offer candidates advice, such as finding a location free of distractions, and, if you can't find a professional setting, to use their background blur feature. But remember, your recorded video will also be viewed by the hiring authority at Boeing, who may wonder why you chose to blur your background rather than find a more suitable setting, which is a reflection of your work ethic. They may wonder what you are hiding from view, which is a question of your integrity. Even though they claim their algorithm is bias-free, the recruiter makes the final call.
Bear in mind that the surroundings you choose for your interview are a reflection of who you are as a professional. You'll want their focus to be on you and not on your background. Make sure your space is organized, free of distractions, and work-appropriate. Choose a space not too cluttered, preferably with a plain background.
Your surroundings are a reflection of your professionalism, and you'll want to present yourself as a professional in every way. So, you'll want your focus to be on you and not on your background. Make sure your space is organized, free of distractions, and work-appropriate. Use this as an opportunity to reflect on what they can expect from you. Showcase how organized you are, and how if given the option of working remotely, you can be relied upon to be self-managed in your work. Also, confidentiality is another concern when it comes to Boeing, who offers the following advice for your video interview, "Be aware of your surroundings. Check the wall behind you to ensure no confidential or private information will appear on camera. Also, check there's no private information visible in the background."
"For me, integrity is being true to your character and principles. It's about having the courage to always do the right thing, regardless of the circumstances and how difficult it may sometimes be. It's about living by your values."
