The Ultimate Guide to Acing Video Job Interviews

March 20, 2020

Tip #1: Practice & Prepare

Hiring managers can learn a lot about you from your surroundings, so consider everything in view behind you as well as in front of you. Keep it clean and tidy, but feel free to use index cards or post it notes to ensure you hit on all of the key points you would like to convey.

Tip #2: The Importance of Body Language

Just as you would in-person, it is important to maintain uninterrupted attention to the hiring manager – maintain eye contact, smile, act natural and engaged in the conversation, use expressive hand gestures and body language. Be mindful of posture and avoid slouching in your chair.

Tip #3: Dress Professionally and Appropriately

While you may be tempted to “dress down” for a virtual interview, it is still recommended you dress head-to-toe as if you were interviewing in-person. Take special care that your clothing is clean, ironed and professional, and be sure to check how your clothing appears on a web camera before the interview begins.

Tip #4: Test Your Tech

The last thing you want is to have any sort of technology issue when you’re scheduled to interview. Be sure to check that your WiFi is working, your speakers and microphone are set to an ideal volume, and your web camera is positioned properly. If your interviewer is using a video-conferencing software such as Skype or Zoom, be sure to check your computer compatibility before the interview.

Tip #5: Don’t Risk Distraction & Interruption

To avoid any potential interruptions, it is best to set yourself up in a quiet room with the door closed, ensure all pets are properly cared for but are outside of the room, inform individuals in your household of your interview time-frame, and of course be sure your cell phone is off or set to silent and your television or radio are turned off.

Tip #6: Communication

While interviewing virtually may seem different, remember that all of the same strategies as interviewing in-person apply – keep your pace constant and at a normal speed, relax, don’t rush through your replies, keep a water bottle or glass of water nearby, and be confident. You’ll be great!

Punta #1: Practica y prepárate

Los supervisores de reclutamiento o la persona que lo entreviste para una posición durante una video llamada; puede proceder o no con su aplicación, de acuerdo a su entorno. Así que considere todo lo que está a la vista tanto detrás como delante de usted, antes de iniciar la video llamada. Mantenga su alrededor limpio y organizado, pero siéntase libre de usar fichas o hacer notas para asegurarse de hablar de todos los puntos clave que le gustaría informar al entrevistador.

Punta #2: La importancia del lenguaje corporal

Tal como lo haría en persona, es importante mantener una atención ininterrumpida al supervisor o persona que lo esté entrevistando mediante la video llamada: mantener el contacto visual, sonreír, actuar de forma natural, participar en la conversación y usar gestos expresivos con las manos y lenguaje corporal. Tenga en cuenta la postura y evite encorvarse en su silla (Mantenga una postura firme).

Punta #3: Vístase professional y apropiadamente

Si bien es posible que sienta la tentación de vestirse informalmente para una entrevista virtual, se recomienda que se vista como si estuviera entrevistando en persona. Asegúrese de que su ropa esté limpia, planchada, y acorde para una entrevista de trabajo. Es importante, ver cómo su ropa se ve en una cámara web antes de que comience la entrevista.

Punta #4: Pon a prueba tu tecnología

Lo último que usted quisiera es tener algún tipo de problema tecnológico cuando tiene programado una entrevista. Asegúrese de verificar que su WiFi esté funcionando, que sus parlantes y micrófono tengan el volumen ideal y que su cámara web esté colocada correctamente. Si su entrevistador está utilizando un software de videoconferencia como Skype o Zoom, asegúrese de verificar la compatibilidad de su computadora antes de la entrevista.

Punta #5: No arriesgue la distracción y la interrupción

Para evitar posibles interrupciones, es mejor que te instales en una habitación tranquila con la puerta cerrada, asegúrate de que todas las mascotas estén bien cuidadas, pero fuera de la habitación. Informa a las personas de tu hogar sobre el plazo de la entrevista y por supuesto asegúrese que su televisor o radio estén apagados.

Punta #6: Comunicación

Si bien las entrevistas pueden parecer diferentes, recuerde que se aplican las mismas estrategias que las entrevistas en persona: mantenga su ritmo constante y normal, relájese, no se apresure a responder, mantenga una botella de agua o un vaso de agua cerca, y este confiado de sí mismo. ¡Usted tendrá éxito!
