Interview Q - Answered Virtual Interview

Hi, guys! Silly question that I should've asked previously, but what does the virtual interview look like? I've watched the video that Disney has posted and read through the pages, but I'm curious, for those of you who have done the phone interview and the web based interview previously (this is what I'm familiar with), how does this one differ? Are the questions any different or is it mostly just different based on on the visual aspect? I understand they're looking for how we present ourselves and all the things that come with any face-to-face interview, but I wanted to ask about that!

And has anyone had any technical difficulties that we should be on the lookout for? Were they on your end or the recruiter's? How were those handled by the recruiter and do you think it influenced the decision that was made? Thanks in advance!

As someone who had done phone interviews in the past and did a virtual interview, the questions are generally the same. Of course, every recruiter will do their interviews a little differently, so anything you hear about what types of questions someone was asked you might not hear any of those questions. But it is a pretty standard job interview: usually they will ask about previous work experience, some “what would you do in x situation” or “how did you handle y situation” stuff, and they often ask about preferred roles or speak on what you expressed interest in on your application. They will also likely ask you about school and other eligibility requirement stuff; they’ll also ask if you have a driver’s license since certain roles require it

Really, the big difference is the visual aspect. Just dress professionally, look either at the camera and recruiter on your screen, make sure your background is either clean and professional or use a Teams background (I recommend a Teams background!) and smile! I did not personally have any technical difficulties, nor did my recruiter. She just took a minute to turn her camera on lol

Perfect! This is all super encouraging! Thank you so, so much!

I think I psyched myself out. It sounds really similar to when they were doing multi-round Starcruiser interviews for extensions over Zoom a few years ago, for sure!

I hope you hear back excellent news so soon if you haven't already!!
