Have you got a virtual interview coming up? Iâve put together 7 essential steps to follow to help you prepare and succeed!
Hey guys đ Have you got a virtual interview coming up? Iâve put together 7 essential steps to follow to help you prepare and succeed!
We have a lot to cover, so letâs jump straight inâŚ
1ď¸âŁ Test your IT
The last thing you want is to lose connection or have a blurry screen. Make sure youâre using a reliable internet connection and buy a webcam and microphone if your laptop quality isnât clear.
2ď¸âŁ Create a neat background
A plain background is best as itâs not too distracting. Make sure that whatever is in the background is neat, clean and tidy to show that you have good attention to detail.
3ď¸âŁ Find the right lighting
Donât sit with your back to the window⌠youâll end up looking like a silhouette. Either sit facing a window, or use lights and lamps to brighten you up.
4ď¸âŁ Silence your laptopâs notifications
Silence your emails, calendar notifications, and any social media notifications that pop up so this doesnât interfere with your interview.
5ď¸âŁ Dress to impress
Although youâre interviewing from home, dress as though youâre interviewing at the company office. Virtual interviews hold just as much importance on looking presentable and professional!
6ď¸âŁUse your body language
A survey showed that 55% of any message is communicated nonverbally through your body language, gestures, and facial expressions. So be sure to speak with your hands and smile throughout!
7ď¸âŁLook into the camera
Avoid the temptation to look at the screen. Instead, talk straight into the camera so your interviewers feel more connected to you.
