We will ask you three questions, and you will record your answers to these no longer than 2 minutes each.

There will be a link to the video portal, SOVA, and clear instructions on the platform to set you up for success.

Ultimately, we want you to
speak into the camera, and be yourself, as much as possible. Please feel free to write bullet point notes or use flashcards to help you get across your key points.
