A brand new way to watch Candid Career videos!

Announcing an improved viewing experience for your students and alumni!

The video interviews integrated from Candid Career have a huge impact in helping students and alumni understand what it’s really like to work in a chosen career. To better support these videos, we’ve updated our viewing experience to make it easier than ever for students to navigate between clips from each interview, and encourage them to explore the full breadth of the interviewee’s advice!

What does this look like?

Now, all of the specific sections of the interviews are housed in one video post, with specific buttons to skip to the parts you want to learn more about, like ‘Job Description’, ‘Loves & Challenges’, etc. This means you can easily click from one clip to another, rather than having to search for the next clip in a separate post. This new update also more closely reflects the viewing experience within Candid Career, to give your students a more familiar experience!

See it in action, below!

How is this new format managed on the backend?

Easy! All videos are housed under the name of the profession and the employer, with each subsequent video added as an additional Video URL. Where before you could only add one URL per video post, now, you can add multiple, and assign labels to each which will be reflected on the buttons to view that clip on the front-end!

Bonus!

This also means that in your video widgets, you’ll no longer have clips from the same interview showing up across the widget! Since all clips from each interview will now live under one video post, your video widgets will feature three, distinct Candid Career interviews.
