Test Your Technology
For a successful interview, you'll need a computer that meets the technical specifications of Zoom and other programs, as well as a reliable internet connection that can handle video streaming. Double-check your Wi-Fi connection, camera, and video conferencing platforms before the interview. Sign in to the video meeting the hiring manager provides at least 10 to 15 minutes before your interview is scheduled to start.
Research and Prepare
Ensure that you are ready to speak in detail about the value you will bring to the organization and how you fit in the company's mission. Practicing responses to potential interview questions can help you feel confident and comfortable. Research the company, review the job description, plan for common interview questions, and prepare relevant examples of your experience and qualifications. Use information from your research to show that hiring you would be an excellent decision.
Remain Authentic
Provide insight into who you are and let your personality shine through. Interviewers usually look for excellent culture additions to their organizations. Try to convey your confidence and personality through your body language, adaptability, and deft communication. Maintaining eye contact and smiling during the video interview can help you come across as warm and personable.
Follow Up
Plan to send a follow-up email within 24 hours of the interview. Thank the interviewer(s) and let them know that they can reach out to you if they have any further questions or feedback. Including details from the interview in your message can also show that you were attentive and engaged throughout the meeting.
