VIDEO SUBMISSION TIPS
Our aim is not to trick you. So relax and be yourself but be professional.
In the video please introduce yourself, explain why you’re applying and what you hope to gain from the experience. We want to know why you’re interested in Fintech and what problems you hope to solve.
The video should be 1 minute long and should contain nothing except the applicant talking.
No screenshots or post-production wizardry please; we don’t want this to turn into a video making contest.
This is not the place to submit a demo or promotional video.
We don’t want to see any promotional video. Here, we want to hear how the applicants communicate.
Don’t mark it as private or disallow embedding on YouTube
, or we won’t be able to see it. Please note that because of how our system is built, YouTube’s view count will not increase even though we do watch your video.
Please do not recite a script written beforehand.
Just talk spontaneously as you would to a friend. People delivering memorized speeches (or worse still, text read off the screen) usually come off as stupid. Unless you’re a good enough actor to fake spontaneity, you lose more in the stilted delivery than you gain from a more polished message.
Please do not add any background music to your video.
We regularly give up 10 seconds into a video because we can’t stand the random background music.
Watch your own video before you submit.
Make sure you can hear what you are saying. A significant fraction of the videos we get are inaudible. If you’re going to apply at all, you may as well apply with a video we can hear
