Crush Your Next Virtual Interview!
In person interviewing can be a challenge for inexperienced interviewers. Virtual interviewing can be even more difficult to make connections and facilitate conversations. In an age where online meetings are replacing face to face encounters, companies are also seizing the convenience of virtual interviews. Some companies are even asking for pre-screening interviews where applicants record themselves answering questions and send it in before speaking to a hiring manager. Interviewing is a skill learned over time. By practicing and working with an interview coach you can increase your likelihood of getting the job you desire!
Here are some tips to help you prepare for your next virtual interview:
Technology check! Ensure all your equipment is working properly before a virtual interview.
Make sure you are in a place with no distractions.
Ensure good lighting for the interview so your facial expressions are easily seen and communicated.
Practice answering interview questions and record yourself.
Good eye contact with the camera is key. Just like an in person interview, be sure to make appropriate eye contact with the camera.
Posture needs to be confident and hang movements should be minimum to avoid distractions.
Remember to be animated so your excitement for the position can be communicated through the screen.
