What Are The Rules

4. It might sound obvious but hiring managers and
recruiters want to see the real you.
They are interested in how you are going to work in
the team in the long run so be authentic.
Take it easy, go slowly and concentrate on showing
them who you really are.
1. Relax

5. Keep a copy of the job description nearby.
Chances are that if someone has gone to the
effort of writing this thing, they are going to be
using it to measure you.
Having a copy of the description nearby will
help you to stay focused in your answers.
2. Refer To The Job

6. It’s no use having your interview all planned
out if you run out of battery half way through
the interview.
Some one-way interview tools will allow you
to resume your interview where you left off
but don’t run the risk.
• Charge your laptop
• Check the camera
• Check the microphone
4. Check Your Hardware

7. You are in an interview. People want to see you.
Make sure that you are in a well lit, quiet place.
Don’t sit with your back against a window because
nobody will be able to see you.
Let the light shine in on your face and keep the kids
calm.
5. Light Matters

8. 6. Remember People Can See
You
www.searchie.ai
It’s easy to forget that the camera is on but…try not
to.
Dress for the occasion. Different positions will expect
different dress codes. It sounds silly but the way you
dress is a signal that you send to other people.
The signals you send in a video interview are even
more pronounced than in person.

9. 7. Stay In The Frame
www.searchie.ai
It’s easy to move out of the frame, especially on a
mobile phone.
If you are taking your video from a phone, put it flat
and try not to move it.
Staying still and in the frame helps the people on the
other end to concentrate on what’s important – you.
