Your first interview before the interview.
At the Trainee level, host organizations are selecting future managers — and they evaluate presence the way they would in a leadership interview. Before your dossier is read in detail, a director or HR executive will watch your video and decide, within 30 seconds, whether you belong on their management team. A commanding video accelerates everything. A careless one closes doors your CV had opened.
