Video Interviews
Tools like Skype and FaceTime enable interviews to take place virtually, making them a convenient and practical option for business people on the go. If, however, you haven’t ventured into this format before, there are a few things to consider…
The right setting
When you need to stand out, don’t pick a location that’s loud, cluttered or garish. A quiet place with plenty of natural light facing you, rather than being behind you, will keep you front and centre – ensuring you’re remembered for the right reasons.
Consider your Tech
Nobody wants to worry about technical difficulties when they’re preparing for an interview. Do a trial run in your chosen environment and note whether your internet signal is strong enough there. If you lose connectivity on the day, you’ll break up the flow of the interview.
Dress appropriately
Since the interviewer is unlikely to see your bottom half, there can be a temptation to forgo formal attire. While you may not need to be suited and booted, taking cues from your audience sets the right tone. Do your research on the company to blend your aesthetics. Dress as you would if you were meeting them face to face.
