    If not Fidio then Hinterview. It looks like it's time brush up on your televisual presentation skills.

    Forget about the skills they're interviewing you for - your CV would have been binned if it wasn't up to snuff. It's all about the surface shine these days.

    And I have doubts of anyone getting work out of this trend if you're not an able-bodied young(ish) white male...

    (Or a young, attractive, blond bombshell...)
    You can opt for doing a new hair style and a professional makeup to look like a bombshell.

    If she is anything like my mum she's probably just stopped asking you directly but still asks / mutters to your dad and siblings...

    From a contractor point of view, usage of this tool is a great way of filtering out crap clients.

    Generally agents don't care if it works for candidates, only if it 'works' for the client and themselves.

    Expect to be forced into using this whether you want to or not.
