Know the video interview type you are appearing
for
There are two types of video interviews. Your
preparation will depend on which interview type
you will appear in. One-way video interview
Only the candidate has to appear in the interview
where they will record their answer for the
questions on the screen. Once you click on the
submit button, these recordings will be sent to
the recruiters. Live video interview Both the
candidate and interviewers have to be present
simultaneously over a face-to-face video call.
They can go back and forth to ask for relevant
details about the job position.

Dress professionally to create a good impression
Dressing up for a video interview is as important
as an in-person interview. A well-dressed
candidate will automatically create a strong
impression of being serious about the interview.
For men, you should put on a plain shirt, formal
pants, tie, suit jacket, and formal shoes. If you
dont have a pair of suits, you can wear a plain
sweater to look professional.
For women, you should go with a pencil skirt or
dress pants along with a button-down shirt,
blouse, or a knee-length dress.

Prepare questions to ask the interviewer
At the end of the interview, youll be asked if
there is anything that you want to ask the
interviewer. Use this opportunity to ask
thoughtful questions to set yourself apart from
other applicants. Do some research about the
company to find some ideas to form your
questions.
