You might be surprised to know that some schools, such as Kellogg, INSEAD, Yale, MIT, Rotman, and others have introduced a video interview and/or essay as part of your application. Some schools require it and for others, it is optional. So besides being picture-ready... mastering this skill will benefit you on-the-job, too. In fact, it might be more important than interviews! We understand that not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera, but since COVID 19 especially, appearing on screen has become much more of our reality, and the more comfortable you become in this more 'performative' stance, the better you will present yourself. In this week's episode, we'll speak with guests who share their best-practices when it comes to being on video and the video essays themselves. To help us dive into this important topic is our friend and fellow AIGAC member, Maria Wich-Vila, MBA admissions consultant and founder of Applicant Lab. We are also joined by video consultant and founder of Dialog Video Marketing, Justin Vajko, do give us his take - See what I did there? - on not only how to look and sound your best on camera, but also to be sure to deliver the message you want and need to convey, considering the constraints we have in the context of MBA admissions video essays.
