Dress Code:
Even though you will be in the comfort of your home, many people find it really helpful to dress as you would for a face to face interview. It helps to ‘get you in the zone’.
Good advice here, one small clarification - given that it isn't live, don't worry about broadband/wifi in the room. You're just making a recording, and you can upload it later.Just remember they may ask you to move the camera around the room to check you don't have any cog notes on post-its hidden! They may also ask you to show your ears for any earpieces - this happened me.
Definitely dress as you would for a "normal" interview.
Make sure the room you use has the best soundproofing and broadband/wifi you can possibly have.
Speak formally and clearly, don't use slang or acronyms.
Time yourself beforehand the 3 minutes will fly and you don't want to be speeding up at the end!
Practise looking at the "interviewer" rather than yourself on screen.
Sorry but this is wrong, it's not an optional uploading at your leisure. Or at least it wasn't 2 years ago, it may have changed. You have to sit at a specific time and it's one-take. I had an issue with broadband even though i'd gone into work specifically to avoid that potential and having a circle of doom spinning in the corner of the screen while you're recording is very off-putting.Good advice here, one small clarification - given that it isn't live, don't worry about broadband/wifi in the room.

You probably won't get it right first time. It's not live, so take as many goes as you like. It's a bit cringy reviewing your own videos, but do have a look and see how you can improve them.
PAS love the STAR technique, so look it up and try it out if you're not used to using it.
That was my assumption when the OP said that it wasn't live. I'm open to correction.Sorry but this is wrong, it's not an optional uploading at your leisure.

Most other people will have been the same, best of luck.Thanks for all the advice, took it onboard but it was tough enough over 3 minute bursts, realised that you depend a lot of visual queues from a person sitting opposite who also mediate against being robotic, got a few points across amid a word salad at times......
