myInterview Video Interview Guide for Candidates

Prepare for a myInterview video interview with current platform context, settings to verify, a recording checklist, and two detailed worked examples.

A myInterview invitation can ask you to record video answers for an employer to review later. The current myInterview product information describes screening and scheduling capabilities, but it does not create one fixed candidate format. Your employer controls the task attached to your link. Read the invitation for the deadline, device instructions, question settings, and support route. Prepare stories that show how you communicate, decide, and learn. Keep each story specific enough to stand on its own. The exercises in this guide are representative. They are not myInterview questions, and they do not predict an employer’s scoring method. Rehearse your first sentence and your final result rather than memorising a script. That gives you a stable structure while leaving room to answer the exact question you receive.

TL;DR

The old myInterview product URL now redirects to Radancy.
That redirect is brand evidence, not a current candidate manual.
Discard old timer, question, and retry claims unless your invitation confirms them.
Identify the task before using one-way interview advice.
Prepare from the vacancy and live screen.

What can myInterview product information tell a candidate?

myInterview’s current public product path redirects into Radancy’s screening and scheduling platform. This supports the fact that the product sits within a broader hiring workflow. It does not state a universal candidate question count, timer, attempt rule, or role coverage. Older myInterview articles may describe settings that an employer can change or that have since moved.

The redirect creates a strict evidence limit. It supports a current connection to Radancy’s screening and scheduling product family. It does not document an unchanged myInterview candidate flow. Old tutorials may describe a past interface.

First identify whether the employer asks for a recorded response or scheduled conversation. This format comparison helps decode the task without turning the Radancy redirect into a feature claim.

How should you separate facts from assumptions?

Current evidence	Safe conclusion
Invitation says recorded video	Prepare stand-alone answers for that assigned medium. Do not extend it to all employers.
Deadline is shown	Plan an early window. Do not assume later access.
Practice is offered	Use it for delivery. Do not copy its settings into real questions.
No retry wording	Keep the setting unknown until the live screen states it.

Use the table to audit stale advice. Every setting needs current candidate evidence. If an old guide and the live screen disagree, the live screen wins.

Search results can preserve the myInterview name after the official URL redirects. Check publication date and destination before treating a tutorial as current. A page can still offer useful coaching while its screenshots are stale. Keep general advice about speaking clearly. Recheck every claim about buttons, timers, practice, and attempts. This keeps the guide useful without pretending that Radancy documents an unchanged myInterview candidate journey.

How should you prepare recorded answers?

Audit the material you already found. Highlight every specific claim about question count, time, attempts, downloads, or practice. Check each against the employer email and live page. Delete any unconfirmed claim. This stops an old walkthrough from becoming a false rule.

Once a recorded task is confirmed, extract three actions from the vacancy and pair each with a real event. Record one answer and check whether your decision is clear without follow-up. Improve the evidence, not the polish.

Create a two-column source audit before you rehearse. In the first column, copy only details from the current employer email or landing page. In the second, list claims from old myInterview tutorials, including timer length, question count, practice, and retries. Move a claim into your plan only when the current source confirms it. Keep the old material for general speaking advice if it remains useful, but remove its product instructions. This process responds to the present evidence problem: the public myInterview URL now redirects, so an older walkthrough cannot establish today’s candidate controls.

Before the real interview, use three free timed HireVue prompts to check your structure and delivery. This is general practice. It does not copy myInterview or your employer’s settings.

Record one prompt under a real countdown

Thirty seconds to think, then two minutes out loud. One take, no pause, and you do not see the question until the clock starts.

Optional. Nothing is uploaded.

Which representative exercises should you try?

Check whether current product information applies

The public myInterview product URL now redirects to Radancy screening and scheduling. Record that as the only current product fact from the page. Next, open your employer invitation and identify the task it actually names. Suppose the invitation says “recorded interview” and gives a deadline, but it does not mention question count, timing, practice, or retries. Add recorded format and deadline to a current-facts column. Put every missing setting in an unknown column. Do not copy an old myInterview tutorial into either column. Check the landing page before its start control for any additional instructions, and save the employer’s support route. If the page uses Radancy branding, record that label for a support request without assuming the historical candidate flow stayed the same. Prepare concise recorded answers only because the invitation confirmed that medium.

Save the current page title and redirect destination beside the invitation date. If support is needed, report those observed details rather than naming a feature from an archived guide.

Why it works: it tests current applicability through the employer’s live evidence while keeping the redirect from becoming an unsupported feature claim.

Plan a concise motivation answer

Representative prompt: Why are you interested in this role?

Model answer: “I am interested in this customer operations role because it combines direct problem solving with the chance to improve recurring service issues. In my campus support job, I handled student requests and noticed that accessibility questions were often delayed because ownership was unclear. I mapped the handoff with the support lead, added one named owner to the request template, and checked the first week of cases. Every accessibility request reached the right person before the session date. That experience showed me that I enjoy helping someone in the moment while also making the next case easier for the team. This role appeals to me for the same reason: it asks people to communicate clearly, make careful decisions, and improve a process using evidence. I would bring practical customer experience, a habit of checking outcomes, and a willingness to learn the employer’s systems before proposing changes.”

Why it works: it gives one direct role reason, one relevant proof point, and a clear role connection in a complete recorded answer.

What should you check before recording?

Save the URL and page title from your actual invitation. Use the employer’s support route if the screen differs from an old guide. Do not force the interface to match a screenshot.

For confirmed video, run the camera and microphone checks. For a scheduled task, prepare to join at the stated time. For another Radancy module, use its own instructions.

Keep the final status and current product name shown. That helps the recruiter locate the workflow if a response is missing. Use general recorded-answer tips after the task is confirmed.

If support needs a screenshot, remove unrelated personal information before sharing it. Include the current page title, employer, task stage, and error. Those details are more useful than an old myInterview tutorial name.

When the screen uses Radancy branding, describe that exact label in a support request. Mention that the invitation used myInterview only if it helps identify the link. Do not treat the two names as proof that every historical feature survived. A precise report should say what the candidate saw, what action failed, and when it happened. That evidence gives the employer a better chance of locating the correct workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is myInterview always a one-way video interview?

The official myInterview product URL now redirects to Radancy. That does not prove what appears in every employer invitation.

Does every employer use the same settings?

No universal settings are documented by the redirect. Use the live invitation.

Can I practise before the real questions?

Use practice only if the assigned screen offers it. An archived walkthrough is not enough.

Can I record an answer again?

Do not infer attempts from old product material. Read the current rule before recording.

Are the examples in this guide real platform questions?

No. One checks whether current product information applies. The other is a representative concise motivation answer.
