Candidates record responses to pre-set questions within time limits, and responses may be analyzed using AI for hiring decisions. Some time ago, [Edward Jones](https://www.edwardjones.com/) changed its hiring procedures to include something called a "[HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interview". The purpose of these [video](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/video-interview) or [one-way interviews](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/one-way-interview) is to save everyone time. You don't have to travel to an office for an in-person interview if the Edward Jones hiring manager has already made up their mind on another applicant. And the hiring manager doesn't have to sit through an interview with someone that clearly isn't interested in the job. So it's a win-win right? _Sort of._ [HireVue](https://www.tryvoomer.com/blog/define/hirevue) interviews can be very **stressful** for applicants since there is no live interviewer asking questions. Many applicants have told us this gives them anxiety since there is no way to know if your answers were solid or could be improved. You can gain some **confidence** before your interview by practicing for Edward Jones' HireVue interview on a platform like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**, where you can practice on Edward Jones sample questions and get instant, AI-powered feedback on your answers.

Start your interview in a place that is **quiet** - away from kids, pets, lawnmowers, etc. Not only will the person viewing your video have a hard time understanding you, loud noises right when you are about to answer a question might sap your confidence. Even though you might be at home, **dress** as if you were at an in-person interview. People viewing your answers appreciate the professionalism of someone that took the time to think about this issue and record using appropriate clothing. **Lighting** is absolutely key. If you record in an environment with low light, you'll come across as a blurry, barely recognizable mess on video - which does not help your chances of getting hired. Open your curtains to let in lots of natural light or turn on lights to brighten up the environment. When it comes to lighting, more is always better - as long as the lights aren't pointed at your camera! ### Edward Jones HireVue interview questions Below are some Edward Jones sample questions. * Tell me about yourself (a classic Hirevue question) * What was the toughest challenge you've faced * Tell me about a time you faced a problem with a team member * Tell me something that is not on your resume * Access more of these questions at **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**! ### Practice till it lands Practice makes perfect - boost your confidence before the interview by **practicing** for your Edward Jones HireVue interview on a tool like **[Voomer®](https://app.tryvoomer.com)**.
