Virtual interviewing – tip for graduates
There has been an increase in video chat job interview. In this guide we look at several tips provided by the experts from homework answers websites to prepare you for the video chat job interview.
1. Quiet Area Is Key – Public places or the outdoors is simply unsuitable for this type of interview. It calls for a noiseless area in which you can hear the other party and they can hear you without background noise. If you are a graduate, the university or college careers service may have a room that you can use, just ask. Otherwise your home would suit well provided you adhere to the other tips in this guide.
2. Prepare Your Computer – We tend to recommend computers over tablets or smartphones due to better reliability. Imagine conducting an interview on your smartphone and a call comes-in, the interview would be paused, which is unprofessional. When using your computer make sure you are using the right software as agreed with the interviewer (for example, Skype), that you have the latest version and that if account registration is required, you have done so in due time.
3. Close Other Programs – Only the video chat software should be open during the interview. The interviewer does not need hearing or seeing your incoming email or latest Facebook status of your mates.
4. Prepare The Settings – The interviewer will see a wide angle of the room behind you, so make sure this area appears businesslike. Preparation is especially key if you are conducting the interview at your bedroom or home.
