Zoom) and other online communication platforms.  \nVirtual vs. In-Person  \nInterviewing  \nRESEARCH THE EMPLOYER  \nResearch the company’s website and speak to professionals that work for or are familiar with the company to figure out its culture, history, mission,  \nEverything you do for an inperson interview is needed foryour video interview.  \nstructure, philosophy, and potential career paths.  \nPRACTICE & PREPARE  \nIdentify and articulate how your experiences, strengths and skills, competencies, goals, etc., apply to the position you are interviewing for. You want to make sure you are able to demonstrate to the interviewer why you are a good fit for the position and what you can offer the company.  \nDRESS TO IMPRESS  \nA good rule of thumb is that it is better to be overdressed than underdressed. Speak with a professional in your field or schedule an appointment with Career Services to determine the most appropriate attire for your interview.  \nVirtual Prep  \nThere are some things that you will want to make sure you consider for a virtual interview that you would not have to do for an in-person interview.  \n• Who is conducting the interview (will there be multiple interviewers)? What time zone? What will the format be?  \n• Synchronous (live interview) or Asynchronous (recording answers to questions)?  \n• Ensure you have access to good internet connection. Ask for a back-up phone number to call in case the video connection fails.  \n• You may reserve a room on-campus for your interview- -contact Career Services for details.  \n• Be punctual! 5-10 minutes early is a good rule of thumb.  \nChoosing Technology   \nLAPTOPS/DESKTOP COMPUTERS  \n Using a laptop or desktop computer for your interview is the best option and many of these already have built-in cameras for you.  \n External webcams produce the best quality video and may be necessary to purchase if your laptop or computer does not already contain a camera.  \nTABLETS  \n Not the best choice for a virtual interview.  \n The video software on a tablet is known to be more temperamental, so there’s a big risk of it not working correctly.  \n The video picture is of lesser quality.  \n There is a greater risk of lost connection and/or bandwidth-reliability than laptops and computers.  \nPHONES  \n Not the best choice for a virtual interview.  \n Phones have all of the same problems as tablets, but with an even smaller screen and less flexibility.  \n Although phone cameras have improved a lot lately, the picture is still sub-par compared to a laptop or computer.  \nSetting the Scene   \nSetting the Scene   \nCHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION  \n Choose a quiet location with few disturbances (you don’t want anyone walking in on you during your interview) .  \n Consider any possible distractions or inappropriate items that might show up behind you on camera. You may want to consider removing anything illegal or especially revealing about your views or identity that could be used against you in a discriminatory manner. Some video software (such as Zoom) also offer different background computer screens that you can use.  \n A neutral background is best. Hang a solid curtain behind you or put up a screen if you have to.  \n Have at least 2 feet of distance from the background behind you to avoid an ugly shadow that can appear if it is too close to you (the more distance, the more flattering) .  \n No mirrors!  \n Try not to sit with a window in front of you or behind you, it can cause a glare.  \nSetting the Scene   \nCHECK YOUR TECHNOLOGY  \n Make sure your technology and internet is working prior to th","cbCaiq67a0oWzy1P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq67a0oWzy1P","pdf",11899544,26,"English","# Virtual Interviews\n## Virtual vs. In-Person Interviewing\n## Virtual Prep\n## Choosing Technology\n## Setting the Scene\n### Check Your Technology\n### Check Your Image and Lighting","[{\"question\":\"How should candidates prepare for a virtual interview compared with an in-person interview?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates should complete the same core steps (researching, practicing, and dressing appropriately) while also planning virtual-specific factors like interviewer logistics, format type, and ensuring reliable connectivity.
