Hey Manager Tools Community,
A friend of mine has recently been offered the opportunity to interview for a company she wants to work for and the initial screen is a 'virtual interview.' Doe anyone know of an MT or CT podcast that addresses this, or does anyone have specific guidance?
Essentially she is going to be given a series of questions and asked to record her answers to them on a Web cam and then email her responses in to the company.
Setting aside my own opinions about the effectiveness of this as a hiring tool (and the way I wrote that probably tells you what I think) does anyone know of any CT guidance on this or have any of your own, specifically related to these virtual interviews. I had nothing for her other that standard effective interviewing techniques.
Thanks in advance!

video interview
She probably should treat the "virtual interview" as a videoconference without any real time response from the other side. And there's a 'cast for videoconferencing: http://www.manager-tools.com/2006/07/how-to-videoconference
The interviewing series is also quite useful, although I can't recall at the moment whether there's anything that addresses exactly this situation in it.
