The NAB video interview is a standard step in the recruitment process, typically occurring after you have successfully completed online assessments. Unlike a traditional face-to-face meeting, this is often an on-demand, pre-recorded session. You will be presented with a question on your screen and given a set amount of time to record your response. This format allows the recruitment team to understand your communication style, your motivation for joining the bank, and your alignment with the organization’s core values.
Because the interview is automated, the experience requires both technical preparation and structured storytelling. You are not speaking to a live person, but you should treat the session with the same level of professionalism as an in-person meeting. Success in this stage often depends on how effectively you can articulate your past experiences and explain why your skills make you a suitable candidate for the specific business area you have applied for.

Troubleshooting Common Access Issues
1. MFA / Login Issues
- Cause: You cannot log in to the recruitment portal because the authentication link or code is not reaching your email inbox.
- Simple Fix: Check your 'Spam' or 'Junk' folder. If the email is missing, request a new verification code from the portal login screen.
- Fallback Action: Contact the NAB careers support team directly via the email address listed on your application invite to resolve access errors.
2. Browser or App Errors
- Cause: The interview platform fails to record or display the questions, often due to browser permission settings blocking access to your camera or microphone.
- Simple Fix: Ensure your browser settings allow 'Camera' and 'Microphone' access for the recruitment website. Clear your cache if the interface remains unresponsive.
- Fallback Action: Switch to a supported browser (e.g., latest version of Chrome or Edge) or use a different device if the issue continues.
3. Locked Account / ID / Access Issues
- Cause: Your account is locked due to multiple failed login attempts, preventing access to the video interview link.
- Simple Fix: Use the 'Forgot Password' tool provided on the recruitment portal to reset your credentials.
- Fallback Action: Reach out to the recruitment support team; they can assist in unlocking your account once they verify your application details.
Pro-Tip: Practice the 'STAR' method aloud before you log in. When responding to behavioral questions, ensure your 'Action' section is the most detailed part of your answer, as this demonstrates your specific contribution. A common mistake is spending too much time on the 'Situation' and not enough on what *you* personally did to achieve the 'Result'.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I have answered the question correctly?
The interview platform does not provide immediate feedback. Instead, your responses are recorded and later reviewed by the recruitment team. Since you cannot interact with an interviewer to ask for clarification, ensure you have addressed every part of the prompt before hitting 'stop'. If you realize you have missed a key point, focus on clarity and structure rather than trying to restart, as showing resilience and composure is part of the assessment.
Q: Are the questions specific to banking, or are they general?
You should expect a mix. While many questions will be behavioral—testing how you handle teamwork, conflict, or stress—others may probe your specific motivation for joining NAB and your understanding of the financial industry. For instance, you might be asked to explain your interest in a particular business unit or a current trend in the banking sector. Your next step should be to read the latest NAB company announcements to ground your motivation in current reality.
