Be mindful of the nonverbal cues of nervous or stressful behavior, such as fidgeting, which could include any small movements of your hands or feet, swaying, shifting your weight, rocking or tilting back in your chair, leaning to one side or the other, straightening and freezing your posture, cradling your neck with one or both hands, crossing your arms, cracking your knuckles or biting your nails.

Most of HireVue's interview questions are designed as situation judgment questions, asking about a situation you've been in, your course of action, and the results or consequences of your actions. These behavioral questions are designed to assess what you know about the job, your competencies, and your hard skills. How you answer stands to reveal your soft skills, such as emotional intelligence, communication skills, empathy, resourcefulness, team orientation, and initiative.

So when delivering your answers, avoid rambling, and be as concise as possible. Communicate clearly and use the recommended STAR method when structuring your answers. Address each answer by first offering the SITUATION involved with your example. Then move into the TASK this situation required. Then share the ACTION you took and the RESULT of your actions. Taking this approach question to question will help you ensure clarity and consistency throughout your interview, keep your answers under three minutes, and meet the algorithm's criteria for passing your interview onto the recruiter.
