How to Nail a Virtual Interview

Among the changes brought about by COVID-19 is the virtual interview, and it looks like it’s here to stay. As more jobs become remote, companies can cast a wider net to attract talent. Thanks to technologies like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, employers and candidates can easily connect and meet virtually — proving both time effective and fiscally responsible for both parties. While it may be convenient, a virtual interview does come with challenges. Here are some tips to help you make a good impression on your next virtual interview.

 

 

Prepare Yourself  

Just like any interview, be sure to do your homework. Research the company, prepare questions, and be ready to tout your own experience. Have in mind examples of challenges you overcame, successful projects in which you played an integral role, and lessons in leadership and growth. Some employers may provide a list of questions that they want you to consider ahead of the meeting. Be sure to review them carefully as they can help you focus your research. Don’t kid yourself into thinking you can covertly look up information or read pre-written answers while you’re on the video call — the interviewer will notice. You want to be well-prepared so that you can have a natural conversation.

ON TOPIC

Whether it’s taking place virtually or in person, a job interview can be anxiety inducing. But don’t let nerves get the best of you. Here are some tips to overcome your nerves and make a great impression during your next interview.

 

Meditate. Clear your head before your interview. Simply take a few minutes to focus on your breathing and quiet your thoughts. Take slow, deep breaths. During this time, turn your awareness completely on your breaths. This will slow your mind and help you focus on just the interview. You can use this approach anywhere, any time. It may be helpful to do this on your way to the interview, or just prior to logging onto a virtual meeting.

 

Be Prepared. Don’t add to your stress level by going into an interview blind. Before the meeting, review the job description and your own resume so you’re armed with examples of achievement, challenge, and leadership. Practice answering expected questions aloud so that your answers sound thoughtful and articulate. Also, don’t forget to prepare a few questions for the interviewer — it will show you’re interested and you’ve done your homework.
