Graduate interview preparation

Graduate video interview questions to practise before assessment day.

For graduate and postgraduate roles, one-way video interviews often test motivation, communication, role fit and behavioural examples. PrepRun helps you practise the timed delivery, not just read sample answers.

How to practise

Use a real timer: prepare for two minutes, answer for up to three.
Use one clear example per answer.
Make your personal action explicit, not only what the team did.
