I’m still searching for a job. On some of these applications they want a 1-3 minute video of me just answering questions to myself and send it in. If feels scammy, but maybe I’m just not doing it right. What do you do?

I did one a few months ago for a university. When I was done it asked for feedback, so I submitted some along the lines of, “I understand you may have numerous applicants, but this interview format does not align with the respect or attentiveness I expect from an employer.”
Needless to say, no call back
Edit: a word
As I stated elsewhere, I refuse to take part in any hiring process that involves a one way video aspect. But I’m not 100% against using it as a filter: The first bar in the hiring process is to refuse the video interview.
I knew as soon as they sent me instructions that I would refuse the job, but I figured it was good interview practice since I’ve only done 3 in 10 years
It’s a two way street even if it’s designed to not feel that way. They were right to reject you, because they already fucked up on your end… Maybe piles of money could’ve brought you back, but it clearly wouldn’t have been a healthy match
