How to Succeed in Your Next Video Interview

How to Succeed in Your Next Video Interview

Video interviews are becoming more and more common and can be a great way to show off your skills and personality. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind before your interview, as it will be a little different than a traditional interview. Read on to discover three tips from a recruitment center that will help you have a successful video interview! 

1. Set Up Your Computer in a Quiet, Calm Space 

You don't want to be interrupted by background noise or distractions, so it's important to find a quiet place to set up your computer. If you're at home, this might mean working in a spare bedroom or setting it up in the corner of your living room. If you're at an office, try to find a conference room or other space where you can close the door and block out any noise. Once you've found a quiet spot, make sure your computer is set up in a way that's comfortable for you. You don't want to be fidgeting with the mouse or keyboard during the interview, so take a few minutes to adjust everything to your liking. 

2. Check and Re-Check Your Internet Connection 

A bad internet connection can ruin a video interview, so it's important to make sure your connection is strong before the interview begins. If you're not sure how fast your internet is, you can run a speed test online. Once you know your connection is good, try opening up the video chat program you'll be using for the interview and test it out with a friend or family member. This will help you make sure everything is working properly and that your video and audio quality are both good. 

3. Remember to Be Professional 

Just because you're not meeting in person doesn't mean you can dress down for the interview. It's important to remember to dress and act professionally throughout the entire process. This means being well-groomed, being dressed in business-appropriate clothing, and avoiding any distractions during the interview. It's also important to be aware of your body language. Just like in an in-person interview, you'll want to make sure you're sitting up straight and making eye contact with the interviewer. 

By following these tips, you can set yourself up for success in your next video interview and any others you partake in during your job search . Taking the time to prepare will help you feel more confident and make a great impression on the hiring manager!
