CV Tips
Video calling is almost always the first step of any interview process. It may sound obvious, but it's amazing how differently people can treat a video call/interview to a face-to-face interview. Follow these best practices to make the most of your chance when engaging with your potential new team:
Make sure you are presentable
Ditch the home clothes and make sure that you dress up in the same fashion that you would have dressed for a face-to-face interview. A first impression here is just as important as it would be if you were meeting in person, but it's also proven to get you in the right mental state to perform at your best.
Don't set up in your laundry room (or anywhere messy)
Okay, I know you probably won't set yourself up in the laundry room, but this is important. Make sure that the surrounding area - the room that you're in - is tidy and kept free from any unnecessary props.
Cafes are great for working in... but not great for an interview.
Avoid anywhere that has noise if possible. Think about the environment you'll be video interviewing in. Choosing an inappropriate environment says a lot about how serious you are about making the right impression.
"I can hear you, can you hear me?"
I've started a video call saying (and seeing someone say) those words on more than one occasion and it's such a frustrating way to start a call. It just kicks everything off on the wrong foot. Don't get me wrong, it's not the end of the world and the call can definitely be brought back from that awkward start, but why take the risk? Check your audio settings. Make sure your 'Output' settings are mid-to-high and that your 'Input' settings are low-to-mid (to limit outside sound). Also, whether you are using the speakers and mic on your computer or headset, make sure they are connected properly. Check it once, test it with a friend, and you'll be off to a smooth start.
'Hello? You've frozen again...'
That leads nicely onto my next big frustration - internet connection. If you know that your internet at home is a little dodgy then go somewhere where it's not. It only takes two or three interrupted connections before both sides start feeling exasperated.
Where are you looking?
When you're sitting in front of a person on a screen in a room, it's sometimes easy to forget the face-to-face etiquette. It's easy to start looking to the side when you're thinking, or distracting yourself when they're talking, particularly when they aren't focusing on the screen either! But don't fall into that trap. Look at the screen, as if you're keeping eye contact, or look into the camera. Just make sure your gaze is focused.
DON'T FORGET THE PHONE
The phone is still an important bit of kit and you'll find that first stage interviews, or even final confirmations, might be done over the phone. A lot of the rules from above actually apply to the phone as well: get dressed up (you'll feel sharper), stay away from noisy places, and go somewhere you know has good signal. But there is another golden rule:
Get across your enthusiasm
A video call can bridge the gap between that and a face-to-face interview, as you can still show your enthusiasm with on-screen demeanour, but that's a little harder to get across on the phone. Some people can be genuinely excited and interested in an opportunity, but without seeing them you'd never know. It's easy for your voice to get a little flat and monotone, especially if you've been talking a lot when answering questions. Be mindful of this. Try a little harder to get across your enthusiasm and positive energy at the exciting opportunity you have in front of you.
