A job I recently applied to wants me to do a video interview - not so out of the ordinary at all, as I've done Skype interviews before... The thing is, it's completely automated - i.e. I'm not going to be talking to a real person, just recording answers to five pre-set questions.

I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of questions (I'm guessing experience, leadership etc.) but I kind of don't like the idea of not knowing how much to say or how much detail to go into. Usually at an interview you can judge whether to go on by the interviewer's body language and response - so I'm not sure whether to keep things brief or pack all my experience in.

What do you think? Anyone done something similar?

Thanks for any advice!
 
It's working for an NGO that helps train people in Afghanistan, Haiti and Gaza to use computers.

It's the second stage of the selection process, and it does strike me as a bit uncaring, but I guess they're trying to keep overheads low and spend their money in country rather than on admin. If the job market wasnt so tight I wouldn't be as worried
