Recently, I applied for a job but was given one-way video interview link - with sonru (https://www.sonru.com/).
I've never done one-way interview (live and recorded). I feel like I will likely be judged on my reaction to questions - hopefully not with some ML
Any tips for this sort of interview, how have you experience something like this?
That said, I recognize that you may not be in a position to decline, so I’ll give the best advice I can. The closest I have done is a set of coding exercises while on the phone with a recruiter, but they knew nothing about the coding exercises - they were basically just on the call to supervise. I wasn’t recorded on video, but the text editor and audio were recorded. It was intensely uncomfortable and felt like I was talking to myself the whole time, and I ended up stumbling all over myself trying to explain with zero feedback, trying to ask clarifying questions to the recruiter and getting “I’m sorry, I don’t know” every time. The only thing I can think of that would have really helped is to practice monologueing while doing hackerrank problems.
For a regular job, when I interview for a position, typically, I ask a lot of questions, as I assume most people do. The primary objective is to determine if it is somewhere you would be happy with.
For a contract job, that is less important, you are a hired gun to get the job done.
IMHO I would go with the attitude: I do not want your POS job if this is how you treat me. If you get an offer, then turn it down, and tell them they are too rude to work for.
Role is mainly around data/modelling work in water resource group. I have done bunch of tech jobs (from backed development, modeler-ml) - so this is relatively new industry for me.
I looked at the company you linked, seems like an interesting idea, I am curious what your results are. Does that 'interviewing company' provide valuable information about the company that they are interviewing you for?
Unless you are very interested in the particular company, or your situation is dire, I would suggest declining this sort of "interview."
good luck !
The HR team accommodated me.
