You\u2019ve finally landed the interview for your dream job \u2014 congratulations! Best of all, you don\u2019t have to worry about driving or parking, because the interview is virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there\u2019s still a lot to think about when preparing for a video interview. If you make mistakes or come across as unprofessional, you can lose the opportunity to do the job you\u2019re excited about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can you sell yourself in a video interview? Here are the tips you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might think that being on time is a slam dunk since you get to interview from home. However, it\u2019s easier than you think to get distracted with other tasks or forget about the interview time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get plenty of sleep<\/a> the night before the interview. Set an alarm for the interview time. Set multiple alarms if you need to. Make sure the alarm is early enough to give you time to stop what you\u2019re doing and prepare for the interview!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re late to any interview, especially a remote one, you\u2019ll likely lose the opportunity right away. No one wants to hire someone who can\u2019t be on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, remote work is all about being able to wear sweatpants every day, but interviews are different. You want to project yourself as highly professional, and that starts with what you wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend you dress professionally down to your shoes. Perhaps the interviewer won\u2019t see it, but you\u2019ll know that you\u2019re dressed up. That will directly impact your self-confidence and energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while we’re talking about confidence. Here is Marielou Mandl<\/a> with some on camera confidence tips that you can use to ace that interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDress Professionally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
