How To Post Video Interview To Rem-i

Create a Private YouTube Channel for Interview Questions and Embed Videos in Your Candidate Profile

Portfolios aren’t typically used by most job seekers, especially those not in creative or design-oriented fields. However, the portfolio section of your candidate profile can be repurposed in a highly effective way. By embedding video interviews where you answer common interview questions, you can showcase your communication skills, professionalism, and preparedness to potential employers. This guide will walk you through creating a private YouTube channel, uploading your interview videos, and embedding these videos into your candidate profile.

Step 1: Create a YouTube Channel

1. Sign In to YouTube
   • Go to YouTube and sign in with your Google account. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to create it first.
2. Create a New Channel
   • Click on your profile picture at the top right corner and select “Your Channel.”
   • Click on “Create Channel” and follow the prompts to set up your channel name and preferences.
3. Customize Your Channel
   • Add a profile picture and cover photo that reflect your professional image.
   • Fill out the “About” section with a brief introduction about yourself.

Step 2: Record and Upload Your Interview Videos

1. Prepare Your Interview Questions
   • Choose common interview questions such as “Tell me about yourself,” “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” or “Why do you want this job?” Prepare concise and impactful answers.
2. Record Your Videos
   • Use a good-quality camera or smartphone to record your videos. Ensure you have a clean background, good lighting, and clear audio.
   • Practice beforehand to ensure your delivery is confident and natural.
3. Upload Videos to YouTube
   • Go to YouTube and click on the camera icon with a “+” sign (top right corner) and select “Upload video.”
   • Choose your video file, add a title and description, and select “Private” under the “Visibility” section to keep your videos accessible only to those with the link.
   • Click “Save” to upload your video.

Step 3: Organize Your Videos

1. Create Playlists
   • To keep your videos organized, create a playlist for your interview questions.
   • Go to the “Library” tab on YouTube, click “New Playlist,” and add your videos to it. Name the playlist something relevant like “Interview Questions.”
2. Edit Video Details
   • Ensure each video has a clear and descriptive title and a brief description summarizing your answer.
   • Add tags to your videos to help with searchability within your channel.

Step 4: Embed Videos in Your Candidate Profile

1. Copy the Video Link
   • Go to your YouTube channel, navigate to the video or playlist you want to share, and click the “Share” button.
   • Copy the provided link.
2. Paste the Link in Your Portfolio Section
   • Log in to your candidate profile on Rem-i.
   • Navigate to the portfolio section and look for an option to add links or embed videos.
   • Paste the copied YouTube link into the designated field.
3. Provide Context
   • Write a brief introduction or description for each video, explaining what question you’re answering and why it’s relevant.

Tips for Maximizing Impact

• Be Concise: Keep each video under 1 1/2 minutes to maintain the viewer’s attention.
• Be Professional: Dress appropriately and ensure your background is tidy.
• Review and Edit: Watch your videos before uploading to catch any mistakes and ensure the quality is high.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the portfolio section of your candidate profile to showcase your skills and readiness through video interviews. This approach not only makes your profile more engaging but also gives recruiters a more comprehensive understanding of your qualifications and personality.
