Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. "Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table". I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I'm gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.

    That seems like a great topic to cover at the end of the interview, at least traditionally.

    That sucks you are in the situation, but what you said in your post plus a quick intro could probably get you a 3 min clip. If you are desperate to switch jobs you got this!

    I'd say do it, and put a lot of effort into the video but keep it generic and don't mention the company or product by name.

    Then in a few months when that shitshow goes under you'll have the video ready to go for the next place!
