Congratulations on landing your virtual interview—you’re one step closer to an exciting opportunity! We know interviews can feel a little nerve-wracking, especially virtual ones, but don’t worry. With a bit of preparation, you can feel confident, calm, and ready to shine.
Here’s a helpful guide to get you set up for success in your upcoming virtual interview.
Check Your Internet Connection and Device Ahead of Time
- Test your internet connection to ensure it’s stable.
- Try out your computer, webcam, and microphone to make sure everything works well.
- Open the interview link at least 5–10 minutes early to check you can join without issues.
Find a Quiet, Well-Lit Space
- Choose a spot free from distractions and background noise.
- Make sure your face is well-lit—natural light or a lamp in front of you works best.
Dress Professionally
- Dress as you would for an in-person interview, business casual or formal, depending on the role.
Prepare Your Environment
- Clear your background or use a neutral virtual background if the platform allows.
- Keep necessary documents or notes handy but out of sight.
Practice Common Interview Questions
- Review questions related to your role and prepare your answers.
- Have a few questions ready to ask your interviewer too!
Be Ready to Engage
- Look at the camera when speaking to simulate eye contact.
- Speak clearly and pause occasionally to allow the interviewer to respond.
