How to Prepare for a Virtual Interview
You’re getting ready for your first virtual interview with a new organization. Congratulations! Read through this blog to gain some insights that will help ensure you feel confident throughout the process.
What is a virtual interview and what should you expect?
Your virtual interview will often be scheduled after an initial phone screening. The interview is typically 30-60 minutes long and may be conducted by a recruiter or hiring manager. At this point, the interviewer is looking to assess how your experience and skills align with the role you have applied for. In this round, be prepared to learn more about the organization you applied to and your role specifically. This is the perfect opportunity to provide competency-based examples of your experience in previous roles and ask questions.

It’s almost interview time, what should you do to get ready?
Remember to download the meeting app or software you will use for the interview ahead of time if it isn’t already installed on your device. Practice logging in at least 15 minutes before the interview to avoid any last-minute delays or password issues. Check your sound, background, and microphone to ensure they are working properly. Then, take a few moments to relax before you get started.
How do you stand out on screen?
Although you are in your home or some other comfortable environment conducive to interviewing, it is important to dress up for the event, just as you would if you were meeting in person. When the interview begins, be sure to ask the interviewer for any adjustments or accommodation you may need. They are there to provide support and guidance throughout the process.
In the interview, follow the STAR technique to highlight your problem-solving capabilities, emphasize your wins, and share your expertise as it relates to the job you want. Also, bring your enthusiasm and personality. Your communication style is crucial in all stages of the recruitment process. It’s important that you show genuine interest in the role and prepare some questions ahead of time.
