2,013 video editor interview questions shared by candidates

- Second of all, I expressed being nervous at the interview, as any candidate would be. “Losing my train of thought” - what? How? I can admit that I might have answered some questions to a little longer extent (but isn't that the point, to elaborate on certain questions?) - however, I always managed to answer their questions - I MADE SURE OF THIS because after EVERY question they asked me, I asked them “Was this an okay answer, did you receive the information you needed from me?” They always said, “Yes absolutely, thank you for answering that, that was great”. The conversation was going really well and I was so surprised to hear that “I was not being precise”. If I was not being precise, why would I be given answers like “Yes, thank you that was great, there’s nothing more to add”. I would have much rather appreciated transparency and honesty - if I didn’t answer something precisely that should have been addressed DURING the interview so I could have elaborated on a topic more or explained the perspective differently. There is truly only SO much you can get to know about a person within an hour. There’s more to me behind my qualifications and experience - there’s a person behind the job, I was merely trying to be open and share my personality as well. If I had been super precise and just answered the questions directly, that would have made me a robot. You would not have got to know who I am as a person too, and wasn't that the point? To find out if I was personable as well? I will continue my review below.

When I initially read the job description for this role, I genuinely felt like it fit perfectly like a puzzle piece. I have 9 years of professional experience, having worked at some well-known companies and for the past 3 and a half years I worked in the education space. Prodigy felt like it just hit home for me as the role seemed like familiar waters. I was really excited to apply. I was, GENUINELY surprised to have been dismissed after having gone through almost 4 hours worth of interviews. You know when you feel like everything has been so incredibly positive and you feel so good about the interview, like everything just went really smoothly? That was my initial experience. After I finished all of the interviews, including the cultural fit - they told me that they'd be getting back to me next week and I felt so good over the weekend. Tuesday I receive an e-mail saying they've moved forward with other applicants. Completely crushed. What went wrong? I wrote to the recruiter to ask for any clarification and feedback, what could I have done better - was there anything I did wrong? What happened? I was just genuinely so surprised, as everything had been so incredibly positive - I felt so mislead. This is the e-mail I received from the recruiter: "The team really liked your work and experience, unfortunately they felt that in a quite few instances you were getting lost in your chain of thoughts and were not being precise to the questions that were being asked and this was felt both at the team lead and final rounds of the interview. Being remote at this point it is imperative to have a clear communication and thought process to be able to work effectively with the business." Honestly, I could have not had a more different experience. This felt the weirdest. What I read did seriously not make any sense at all, and I will explain exactly why. I feel I do have the right to defend myself regarding what was mentioned. I will continue my review below.
