"I want to go far in my career and have an equal opportunity to succeed as everyone else on my teams. I am an advocate for diversity and inclusion and a strong women's rights activist. I have trained and mentored many employees at my previous company who weren't acknowledged for their accomplishments, as I believe they should have been. And though there is no way to prove they were overlooked due to their background, I had my suspicions. It is no secret Prudential Financial partly defines itself by its social responsibility. So, working for a company like Prudential, for these reasons, became one of my career goals. And that's why I am here today. I want to feel proud of where I work."

Make sure you are in a relatively quiet place with as little background noise as possible. 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. Maintain eye contact in front of the camera as if you're speaking face-to-face with a person. Be mindful of your facial expressions. Furrowing your brow while concentrating on your answer can easily be misinterpreted as exhibiting anger and raise a red flag.
