Practise the conversation and the setup
A video rehearsal has two jobs: checking that you can be heard and making sure your examples land clearly. Put your camera near eye level and test the microphone using a recording. Then move on to the substance: the skills the role needs and the evidence you can give.
- Keep your notes to a few prompts so you can look up and talk naturally.
- Pause briefly after a question to leave room for connection delays.
- Have a simple recovery line ready: “The audio cut out briefly. Could you repeat the last part?”
Work on the answer as well as the camera angle
Bossed gives you a spoken conversation based on your CV and the role, so you can rehearse your examples and respond to questions about them. Review the session feedback to choose what to improve. Use your camera separately to check your framing, lighting and sound before the real call.

Practise one answer, then a follow-up
Walk me through a project you are proud of.
- Jot down the main point, the example you will use and the result you want to explain.
- Record your answer out loud. Listen for anything a person unfamiliar with your work would struggle to follow.
- Answer again with that part made clearer. Then ask yourself: “Which part of the project was your responsibility?”
