Interview Hacks
Always be early
Remote interviews happen on Hangouts. Be there at least 5 minutes prior to
the start time.
Find a quiet place
During your interview, try being in a quiet and comfortable place with
minimal distractions.
Strong internet connection
Make sure you have a steady internet connection. A poor signal could lead
to miscommunication.
Eye contact = Confidence!
Place your camera at eye level and maintain eye contact. It shows that
you’re confident.
Minimal distraction
Close all tabs and applications that could affect your internet or become a
distraction.
Power up!
Make sure your devices are charged up or plugged in as video calls drain
most batteries quickly.
Pen and paper
Always have a sheet of paper and a pen handy to make notes if needed.
Homework helps
Come prepared with questions. This is your chance to know more. Ask away.
