• 10 TIPS FOR AN EFFECTIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW

2

• Ever since the introduction of platforms like
  Skype and Google Hangouts, the process of
  interview has been more easier through video
  interview. Neither applicant nor employer is
  required to travel anywhere. Just be at your own
  place and connect for the conversation. All one
  needs is a device with internet connection.
• 1. Attire
• It may be tempting to dress only for what is
  visible on the screen. This is not a recommended
  idea. Even though you are not attending interview
  face to face, it is important to dress in
  complete formal attire.
• 2. Camera
• Before attending the interview, check the clarity
  of the camera. If you dont have in-built camera
  option, book a seat in nearest internet cafe or
  purchase a web camera device in advance. Make
  sure you dont have flaky signal.

• 3. Eye Contact
• Sometimes in Interview, when multiple
  interviewers are attending the process, it gets a
  bit confusing as to with whom to make an eye
  contact. The best trick here is to keep looking
  at the camera, while talking, and not on the
  screen.
• 4. Body Language
• Body language is not just a part of face-to-face
  interview. Even in front of camera, your body
  language is visible on your face and expressions.
  So dont neglect it. You have to look poised and
  polished and make sure that you are not nervous,
  hyperbolizing or flat out lying.
• 5. Sit Comfortably
• Best part about video interview is that you can
  sit anywhere comfortably and attend the
  interview. You can be in your own Kingdom, so it
  should not be giving any excess pressure or
  tension.
