Start 2020 With a Confident Mind and Outlook

A virtual interview is an interview just like any other, with the only exception being that it is completed without being in person. Often these interviews are done over the internet with both voice and video-enabled, utilizing an array of software and platforms. Are you prepared for a virtual interview?

Here are a few tips for your next virtual interview.

Dress the part!

Make sure that you dress the part, from top to bottom, don’t just do your hair and makeup and wear a nice shirt, complete the outfit with a matching and appropriate bottom. If something happens and you have to get up during a webcam meeting and grab something and you don’t have appropriate bottoms on, you can set the rest of your interview for an awkward meeting.

Murphy's Law is so real when it comes to being at home- whatever can happen will happen. So how do we handle that? We plan.
