Your reply should also spotlight why your past accomplishments indicate future success. You ideally want to highlight your personality, work ethic, diligence, and what motivates you.

What You Need to Know

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes three to five questions. Depending on the hiring company's parameters, the HireVue platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to two minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

Example Answer

"As a Pharmacy Technician, I had a shift where two colleagues had to leave early with a sudden illness. I knew right away that I had the choice to buckle down and get to work harder that evening or fold under the pressure. My mindset was to do everything in my power to ensure that the operations didn't falter that evening, and the Pharmacist on duty was very proud of my actions. Looking back today, I learned that a positive mindset and can-do attitude can help us through any tough and stressful work situation."
