Whether you decide to have a meeting over Zoom, Skype, or a similar application, ensure that you familiarise yourself with the features.

A virtual interview that progresses smoothly without any technical glitches is surely the first step to creating a positive impact on your interviewer.

  3. 2. Keep your gadgets ready Right from your Wi-Fi router to your laptop and mobile phone, ensure that everything is functioning properly and has ample charge.

If you are using your laptop, make sure that your phone too has the same application and is logged in, just to ensure that you have a backup. 3. Location and background The place you decided to sit and give your interview can be a genuine deal-breaker in the event that you pick some unacceptable spot. On the off chance that you live in a common plan, there could be clamor and disturbance from individuals you live with. Most likely because of kids, your housemate, or even your pets-the background noise can be upsetting and should be best tactically dodged. Locate a calm and peaceful place where there are strong Wifi and good lighting. Avoid distractions that can obstruct your performance in the virtual interview like too much noise, movements, and any other sort of disturbance. 4. What you wear Whether it's a physical interview or a virtual one, your dressing has to be impeccable. Choose pleasant colors and make sure that you do not wear colors that are too reflective and cause glare for the person on the other side of the screen. Wearing clean and crease-free clothing is not only important to create a good impression, but it also boosts your morale. It is advised to wear the clothes that you have planned during your trial runs as well to feel more at ease and comfortable. 5. Prepare yourself It is very important to prepare for your interview and to plan your responses to questions that you may expect. Prepare yourself for simple questions about yourself, your educational and professional background, goals, aspirations, etc. It is equally important to talk about why you are the ideal candidate for this role and how you can contribute to the company. Practice multiple times to make sure that you do not hesitate or stammer when you are giving your interview. 6. Be early Being late is never a good thing, and the same applies to your virtual interview. Make sure that you are ready with your gadgets and logged into the session well in time. Make sure that you have a professional username and have a decent profile picture before the session begins. It is also important to keep everything within reach that you may need during the interview. Have a glass of water, some tissues, or a napkin and your devices within reach to avoid getting up during the interview. 7. Mind your body language Fidgeting too much, moving in your seat, and having a body language that shows nervousness should be consciously avoided. Make sure that you are at ease, comfortable, and relaxed while having a discussion. It is equally unappealing when the person's body language is too relaxed and inclines towards casualness and disinterest. 8. Expressions Try to avoid a monotonous monologue or a stern expression while giving your interview. Smile when appropriate and be graceful in both your actions and your words. Thank them for taking time off to conduct the interview and have a pleasant expression throughout the conversation. Your personality makes as much of an impact as your qualifications and experience do. We hope that these simple tips help you crack the interview that will land you your dream job at the destination of your choice.
