It looks like the most recent video interview gouge on here was posted in November. I'm curious if anyone has completed the video portion since then that might be willing to share what questions they were asked.

Thank you in advance! It really is a dream come true seeing that E-mail in your inbox after following this thread for two years.
Did you attend WAI last year?

With respect to the video interview, is having a computer the only way? Would the use of an iPad work? I don't own a laptop and I can be away from home for more than 5 days sometimes. I don't trust hotel computes as they may not even have a video camera set up. Someone mentioned skype. Does the video come imbedded in an email and open a video link of some sort? I'm just trying to gather how I can go about it so IF I am lucky enough to get the invite I don't screw it up for something so silly as not having a video source. Thanks.

The invitation email does not specify but if you go to the link they send there is the option to use a laptop, an Apple,or an android product. If using an Apple or android device you have to install an app. I use that laptop and it worked just fine. I cannot speak to how a tablet or phone worked out, just that they give you an option.

Thanks for the quick response Able. I should have added this question as well, and I'll try and word it as best I can. Is the video simply recorded, then using internet connection sent to them, or do I need the connection during the entire video process. Again I'm just concerned that if the video were to "cut out" mid reply to a question due to poor internet quality that would obviously be a bad situation. It's hard enough to get an interview and I couldn't imagine after all this time and effort to mess it up because the connection was poor.

I believe it requires a live Internet connection the whole time. I have no clue what would happen if it cuts out during the process but they do give an email to contact support.

Yep requires live connection, but it is recorded. It is about 15-20 minutes total.

I did the video interview on an iPad since I was on the road. It works fine. I was also using crappy hotel wifi, and it did cut out. It wasn't an issue because it knew where I left off, and I just had to complete the remaining questions. I did panic for a couple of minutes though!
