Overview

• Many firms begin the interview process by calling
  a prospective employee to explain the job offer,
  discover if the individual is a good fit, and
  measure his or her interest in the role.
• Here are few tips to ace any video interview -

Prepare Like You Would for an In-Person Interview

• It doesn't imply your interview isn't real just
  because it's taking place through Skype (or
  another platform). Aside from travel
  arrangements, you must prepare in the same manner
  as if you were going into the office.
• It also involves doing your homework on the
  company and the job, practising typical interview
  questions, and thinking of questions to ask your
  interviewer in return.
• Your interviewer is still searching for someone
  with whom they can imagine themselves working and
  who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the
  position they're applying forbe prepared to
  demonstrate why you're the right person for the
  job.

Dress to Impress

• When dressing for a video interview practice ,
  you should dress as if you were going to an
  in-person interview at the same firm. (And yes,
  that includes the entire body.)
• Although it's reasonable to want to be less
  formal because you're in your own house, it might
  give the incorrect impression about your
  enthusiasm in the position.
• It is advised that getting dressed for an hour
  won't hurt, but not getting dressed may.

5
Test Your Tech

• Reduce technical issues by practising with the
  same platform, internet connection, and gear
  you'll need for your interview ahead of time.
• Make sure you can hear and be heard, as well as
  see and be seen, by having a buddy video chat
  with you.
• Take some time to get to know the software and
  make sure you understand the basics, especially
  how to mute and unmute it.

Set Up Your Shot

• Choose a peaceful location and position yourself
  in front of the most neutral background possible,
  such as a blank wall or a room devoid of
  distracting clutter or décor.
• Make sure you're properly illuminated (natural
  light is preferable) and that the light source is
  behind your computer or phone rather than behind
  you.
• If you must use your phone, prop it up instead of
  holding it in your hand.

Practice Your Video Interview Skills Ahead of Time

• Arrange for a mock interviews with a friend or a
  career counsellor who can assist you identify any
  red flags.
• It is recommended to record your practice. You'll
  be able to tell if you're making eye contact,
  fumbling with papers, or having bad posture later
  on, and you'll be able to make adjustments
  accordingly.
• Answer questions in practise the same way you
  would in a real interview, particularly when
  discussing important aspects of your background.

8
Pay Attention to How You Sound, Too

• Take notice of how quickly you talk, how you
  pause, and the tone and pitch of your voice
  during practise, and ask the person with whom
  you're practising whether any of these factors
  make it difficult to hear or understand you.
• In case of a bad connection, make sure to talk
  clearly and at a fair pace while remaining
  natural.
• Because there is less body language in a video
  interview, you want your speech to convey how you
  feel about what you're saying. So, make sure you
  sound excited when discussing the things youre
  passionate about.

Write Out a Few NotesBut Refer to Them as Little
as Possible

• Only have a few brief notes in front of you, and
  only peek at them once in a while. Not entire
  replies, but essential figures and other tiny
  bits should be written down.
• A huge reason someone decides to hire you is
  because they feel like you made a connection
  during the interview, which can be hard to do if
  youre distracted.
• If you want to have a few scribbled notes on hand
  for your interview, make sure you have them out
  throughout practise. Not only will this show you
  whether or not you can utilise them without
  disturbing the discussion, but the more you read
  them, the less you'll need to refer to them.
