Virtual interviews have become a standard
scenario in the recruitment industry. A recent
study shows that over 89 of organizations use
video interviewing to recruit new employees.
Digital hiring enables recruiters to access a
global talent pool that helps in reducing travel
expenses. From an employees perspective, trying
video interviewing for the first time on Jobma,
Google Meet, Zoom, and Skype proves a challenging
task. Here are some pro tips to reduce interview
stress and master the video interviewing process.

Start Preparing for Video Interview Questions
The video interviews are very similar to
in-person interviews, so you cannot use another
system to search for answers online. Before
starting the interview, prepare the answers to
standard interview questions, such as

• Why are you interested in this role?
• What are your greatest achievements?
• What do you know about our company?
• Why are you leaving your current position?
• Describe your greatest strengths and weaknesses

Give your answers naturally instead of sounding
like you memorize them beforehand. Create short
notes with important points to remain focused on
giving the best answers.

Be Mindful of Your Body Language The video
interviews limit physical interaction like
shaking hands or showing enthusiasm for the
interview, but the recruiters can notice your
body language. The recruiters will focus on your
confidence, posture, communication, and response
to the answers. Maintaining eye contact is
crucial during an interview, so you must directly
look into the camera when answering.
Remove All the Distractions A virtual interview
can have many distractions that are not common in
an in-person interview. There are distractions
such as pets, television, horns, or sirens,
distracting you during an interview. Try to find
a quiet room and close the windows during the
interview to avoid such disturbances. With such
distractions out of the way, you can conveniently
appear in the video interview.
Dress Up for the Video Interview Just because
its a video interview doesnt mean that you can
appear in your casual outfits. You need to dress
up for the interview to show seriousness about
the job opportunity. Creating a strong impression
will improve your chance to ace the interview. A
study shows that any person in formal attire will
feel more confident and trustworthy.
