Setting up your
Online Job Interview Space
Imagine life at your dream job. Dressing for success
also includes preparing your meeting space.
Using a Backdrop or Solid Color Wall
Set up your webcam or computer with built-in web cam with a good view of yourself
and a solid color backdrop. Blue or Grey is preferrable.
Light your face and if possible your backing wall
Using natural light can be great. Just make sure to adjust lighting as needed. Personal
webcam lights are available and work well when overhead lighting is dimmed. Using
only overhead lighting can create shadows on your face.
Clean your Presentation Area
Make sure your background and table area are clean. Do not allow for unwanted
distractions to be present in the webcam background.

Online Job Interviewing Best Practices
Attend the meeting on time
Make sure your schedule works with your potential employer and
always attend online job interviews on time.
Speak Clearly and prepare an outline
Make sure you have tested your microphone. Take a test video and
play back the video/audio to make sure everything sound clear. Also,
prepare a outline and take control of your meeting. There is no rule
against being prepared.
Practice, Practice, Practice
If your College or University has a Career Center or Office or Academic
Resources use the Resources Available! Many Educational Institutions
have online job interviewing areas that have technology waiting for
use. You can practice, prepare and record your self for critique.

Lighting your Job Interview Room
In-Proper Lighting Proper Lighting
Things to remember
1. Avoid natural lighting within the field of view of
your camera.
2. Keep overhead lighting consistent throughout the
room. If the fluorescent lights are giving you trouble
look into energy efficient LED light bulbs.
3. Proper lighting includes a key, fill, backlight, and
wash.
4. Consider the background of your setting. It is often
the most important element.
