Now more than 90% of initial interviews are conducted virtually, so ensuring you’re as well-equipped for this type of interview is essential.
While virtual interviews and in-person interviews can feel very different, the core preparation is the same. However, there are some differences you need to keep in mind.
Our Virtual Interview Guide to Success
You are responsible for creating a distraction-free environment. That includes things like:
- Setting up your space for success:
- Selecting a space with good lighting and strong internet connection where you can conduct your meeting uninterrupted
- Testing out your meeting link ahead of time
- Troubleshooting any potential technical issues to minimize the possibility of them occurring. Of course, things happen, so we recommend having the hiring manager’s or recruiter’s contact information handy in the event of any problems!
If you take the time to prepare your environment, you will not only minimize the likelihood of issues, but you’ll also feel more confident. Set yourself up for success by preparing for what you can control.
Good luck!
