Tips For Acing A Job Interview
If The Interview Is Via Video
Next » « Previous19/22
Video interviews are becoming more common.
There are two types of video interviews: person-to-person where both you and the interviewer are live and can see each other, and a video interview where you answer preset questions without the presence of an interviewer.
In either case, the following tips can help:
- If you do not use internet video often enough to be comfortable doing it, then practice until you are comfortable. Dress in the clothes you will wear for the interview.
- It can take some time for people in a business context to feel comfortable seeing themselves on screen.
- Keep practicing until you get used to it and learn to relax. Among other systems, Skype can be downloaded for free.
- Before engaging in the interview, check the lighting to be sure that you can be seen clearly - but not so bright that you look bad.
- If you do not have enough light near your computer, you can purchase an inexpensive work light from any hard ware store that can clip onto your screen or lap top.
- You can soften the lighting by putting wax paper over the light. Or a pink gel if you have access to a professional lighting supply store.
- Before the interview:
- Check to see how you look on camera.
- If you have lost or gained weight due to your condition or a treatment, be sure your clothes look as if they fit. If clothes are too large, you can use the model's trick of pinning the clothes in the back.
- If you look sallow or sick, experiment with make up that looks natural.
- Look closely at the background to be sure there is nothing you do not want an interviewer to see.
- Preferably, stage the background so it conveys an impression that you want to convey. For example, that you are a serious person, or that you have an interest that relates to the job. At least, be sure that the area is clean and neat.
- Be sure there is no medical equipment or medication in the background.
- Alert everyone in the surrounding space that you are about to do a job interview and (a) do not interrupt you or (b) create distracting noise.
- If a telephone is nearby, do whatever is necessary so that the sound of ringing does not disturb the interview.
- Check to see how you look on camera.
- During the interview, it is okay to watch the speaker on the screen. However, always respond to the interviewer by looking into the camera to create the illusion of direct eye-contact. Do not watch yourself.
