Due March 26th, 2012 - It’s hard to believe that it has been over a year since Robert Half launched the Interview Blunder Video Project … and, still, more and more nerve-racking and uncomfortable job interview horror stories continue to emerge. With that in mind, we are revisiting the campaign to highlight some of the excruciatingly awkward moments that can only happen during job interviews.

This time around, however, we’re switching things up a bit. First off, the project will be tournament style, with the end goal of producing six videos: five Pitch-based and one wild card. Also, the Stories (winners from the previous Interview Blunder Video Project) have already been hand-selected by Robert Half. That means we’re jumping right into the Pitch Phase -- so pick your Story, submit your Pitch for a production budget and get to work!

For those interested in taking the road less traveled, you are more than welcome to submit a wild card based on your own creative entirely, or showcase blunders involving the emerging trend of video interviewing (via Skype, iChat, etc.). From spotty Internet connections to that racy calendar in the background, there are plenty of things that can go wrong during a video interview, and Robert Half wants to see them all.

Project Objective
Create a humorous thirty to sixty (30-60) second video about job interview mistakes; a cringe-worthy meeting with a prospective employer; or an interview blunder that Robert Half can use to attract future job seekers, help them avoid such mistakes and, ultimately, assist them in finding jobs. Above all, videos should drive viewers to Robert Half’s Don’t Let This Happen to You website.
