Online interview

Recently more and more employers refuse to meet with applicants in person and prefer to conduct interviews online.

Here are several recommendations on how to prepare for an online interview:

- before the interview, check your Internet connection, camera and microphone settings, and the battery level of your devices (if you are using a tablet or phone);

- if the interview is conducted through MS Teams or Zoom platforms, download the app in advance and test the link to the meeting;

- connect in advance, 5-7 minutes before the meeting to test audio and video;

- choose a place for an online interview where there will be no extraneous sounds and other distractions;

- pay attention to the background, it is better if it is neutral;

- do not forget to keep eye contact with the person on the other end, imagine that you are in a personal meeting;

- and most importantly — prepare for the interview: study information about a potential employer, prepare a self-presentation of your professional experience and achievements.
