What to Expect from the UBS Sonru Video Interview Questions?
The UBS video interview by Sonru is pre-recorded, so you must record your responses as if in a live interview. Without the social dynamics of regular interviews, it's crucial to showcase your communication skills through content, body language, and tone of voice.
While these can be improved using a mirror or a friend, getting professional feedback on your performance from an experienced occupational psychologist will take you miles ahead of your competition and help you impress the recruitment team. You can read more about preparation for pre-recorded interviews on our dedicated page.
