10 VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIPS!
In this video, Richard McMunn will teach you how to pass a virtual job interview!
So, if you have an online interview coming, whether it’s on online HireVue, Skype or Zoom job interview, or it’s a pre-recorded video interview, make sure you pay attention to the following 10 tips!
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #1
DOWNLOAD & TEST THE TECHNOLOGY WELL IN ADVANCE OF YOUR INTERVIEW!
• Don’t download the interview software a few minutes before your interview is due to start.
• Download the platform and create an account at least 24 hours before your interview starts.
• Get familiar with the technology because this will reduce stress levels!
• Also, make sure your device is charged! If you run out of battery, you will fail!
• Make sure you log on to the virtual interview at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time and compose yourself!
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #2
CHOOSE A LOCATION FOR YOUR INTERVIEW THAT HAS A STRONG INTERNET CONNECTION OR WIFI!
• If your internet or WIFI fails during the virtual interview, you probably won’t get a second chance!
• Choose a room and test the internet with the door closed.
• Make sure the light in the room from any windows is in front of you, and never behind you! If the light is behind you, the interviewer might not be able to see you!
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #3
TEST YOUR MICROPHONE, SPEAKERS & SOUND SETTINGS BEFORE THE VIRTUAL INTERVIEW STARTS!
• Do your headphones or speakers work?
• Is your microphone working?
• Do you need to access and change your computer or laptops settings for your chosen headset, microphone or speakers?
• If your virtual interview starts and they can’t hear you, or you can’t hear them, it shows you are disorganized.
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #4
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO DISTRACTIONS IN YOUR HOME / OFFICE DURING THE INTERVIEW!
• Tell people in the building that you are having an online interview and they should not disturb you for the next hour!
• Make sure the room you are having the interview in is quiet and there’s also no external noise!
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #5
DRESS PROFESSIONALLY!
• How you dress for your virtual job interview is very important!
• If you look smart, and you are wearing professional attire, it tells the interviewer you care about the job, and it also shows you have high standard.
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #6
LOOK INTO THE WEBCAM, NOT THE SCREEN!
• A great way to establish a connection with the interviewer is to make sure you look at the camera on your laptop or device.
• If you stare at the screen, you are not looking directly at the interviewer!
• This takes practice, so make sure you try answering interview questions by looking at the webcam before the real interview starts.
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #7
GET YOUR ANSWER READY FOR THE FIRST INTERVIEW QUESTION – INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
• A great way to remember your answer is to use S.E.A.T.
– Skills and qualities
– Experience or educational qualifications.
– Achievements.
– Type of person you are!

VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #8
BODY LANGUAGE AND INTERVIEW TECHNIQUE!
• Sit upright in the chair.
• Smile throughout the interview.
• Listen to the interviewer, and show you are interested!
• Be positive at all times!
To achieve this, practice recording yourself the day before the interview to see what you look like on camera! You’ll be surprised at how this tip will improve your confidence!
VIRTUAL JOB INTERVIEW TIP #9
PREPARE ANSWERS TO THESE VIRTUAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS!
• Introduce yourself. https://youtu.be/cpm0aB9M-1g

Thank you for your advice. All the points you made are well appreciated and very beneficial. Just one irrelevant (or could be relevant) question if you don’t mind me asking.
What is the psychological effect of the red phone in the background in your video please? ☎️

Hello, sir. I'm disabled and I had given up hope for a job. I want to feel useful in this society. I studied your videos and I'm very happy to say that I passed my online job interview. It's my first job (it's a job from home) and I'm not proud of not having previews jobs but it's a start!
Thank you.

I had my interview with the recruiter on hirevue yesterday but she literally said nothing, she was on her computer,she first of all arrived late by 8minutes, she would put her camera on and off,and ofcourse after 15minutes the interview ended,could this be a problem? I applied as an assistant server on carnival cruise line,this was my second interview

Hi Richard..your videos are amazing and helpful. In prerecorded interview you have to record the answer in 3 minutes. If you start narrating the story using STAR method, the time will be soon up….then what to do…??

So, make sure your 💩 works ahead of time (seems like a no brainer, but I'm sure a lot of people don't do it..), prepare answers for questions that everyone asks ahead of time so you can give off the appearance of caring (doesn't mean you actually have to.. you should meet a lot of my past co-workers..), further that by pretending to look like you care visually, avoid distractions (a fair point), ask questions about the company that you don't really care about (not that they're likely to care about you on an individual basis anyway since that's how big companies unfortunately are..) because apparently you're expected to want to be there the rest of your life..
Why is this the meta for interviews, again? 🧐

Great tips about what about an interview with a group or panel via zoom. So there is no chance to shake hands or even stand. Multiple people adds complexity.

Hi sir, I have a first virtual interview on this week. So, I have question.
How to submit biodata and resume to the company while the interview is on going?
Can you reply fast as possible…..

Thank you very much for this video! I have a virtual interview tomorrow for a traineeship for a job in the sports industry and I want to make sure I ace the interview. I have already prepared answers over the past week based on some of the questions. I’m pretty nervous that they’ll throw a random question at me but I’m confident about getting the job done ❤

Hi Richard, thank you for your video. In terms of camera framing, what would you recommend – having the desk in view as in your video so hands are always visible, or, more zoomed in top body shot without any desk?
