InterQuest Group’s 5 Top Tips for a
Video Interview
TIP 1: PRACTICE
Have a practice video interview with a friend or your representing recruiter. This
will help you get familiar with video conferencing, while also checking that your
connection is good, and camera and mic settings are correct. Don’t let the
interview be the first time you are using your webcam.
TIP 2: SPEAK CLEARLY AND POSITIVELY
Make eye contact with the interviewer. Remember, you should be talking to the camera and not the
monitor. Sit a little further back from the computer than normal, and ensure that the camera is at the
right height to meet you at eye-level. You don’t want to be looking up or down at the camera.
TIP 3: DRESS CODE
Treat the video interview as you would a face to face meeting. The
interviewer can see you on screen, so you should dress as though
they are in the room.
TIP 4: INTERVIEW ENVIRONMENT
Ensure that your interview environment is quiet, properly lit, and that you
are appearing in front of a neutral background. You want your interviewer
to see you at your best, don’t make it difficult for them to see or hear you.
TIP 5: BE 100% PROFESSIONAL
Make sure your video calling or skype account has a professional
username and profile picture, and that you have a good internet
connection.
