For some roles Myer uses a one-way (recorded) video interview before or instead of a group session: you record answers to a few set questions in your own time, with a short prep window and a time limit per answer. There's no interviewer to react to, so warmth and clarity have to come through the camera.
The upside is you can practise until it feels natural. This guide covers the questions Myer tends to ask, how recorded interviews are assessed, and how to come across as the friendly, customer-first candidate they want.
What a Myer video interview looks like
•
You get a link and record answers to typically 3–5 questions, each with ~30 seconds to prepare and 1–3 minutes to answer.
•
Some platforms allow one re-take per question; some don't — check before you start and treat the first take as real.
•
There's no live interviewer, so the camera is your customer: look into the lens, smile and keep your energy up.
•
Assessors review your recordings for customer focus, communication, approachability and genuine interest in the Myer brand.
•
Set up a quiet, well-lit space, test your camera and mic, and dress neat and presentable as you would for the floor.

How to stand out
•
Look into the camera lens, not your own image — it reads as eye contact to the assessor.
•
Bring more warmth and energy than feels natural; recorded answers flatten your delivery, so lift it.
•
Use STAR for the 'tell me about a time' questions so each answer has a clear beginning, middle and result.
•
Show you know Myer — mention a department or brand you'd love to work with.
•
Record in a quiet, well-lit spot, test your tech first, and treat each take as the real thing.
