For Cracking A
Virtual Interview

2. Be all set
Before starting any virtual interview
make sure that you have all your
devices and gadgets in order. This
includes checking your computer’s
inbuilt microphone and webcam. Apart
from checking your devices you need to
ensure that sufficient lighting is present
in the room and your video is clear and
correct.

at the image of the interviewer. For
those who are struggling try practicing
this aspect in advance with your friends
or family.

6. Keep a positive
posture at all times
Try to fit in your head and shoulders in
the camera view. Also, try and sit steady
and speak while leaning forward. Make
sure that there is always a smile on your
face and refrain from looking here and
there during the complete interview
session.

7. Practice the Virtual
Handshake
During a virtual handshake, you don’t
need to wave at the interviewer.
Instead, you need to nod a 10 degree
forward in the interviewer’s direction.
As soon as you see the video of the
interviewer before striking a
conversation greet him with this virtual
handshake.

8. Think and Answer
During such one way interviews after
reading a question it is okay for you to
think a little and then respond in the
best possible manner. You can always
take a second to streamline your
thoughts and hence compose the
answer to the questions presented in
front of you.

9. Show the real you
Don’t try to fake it. Instead of being
what the company is looking for, try to
be the real you and let the company
decide whether it wants you or not.
