1. How to Make Your Virtual Interview
a Success
Over the past decade, more companies in Germany have been including video job
interviews as part of their hiring process, especially in roles with remote applicants or those
which attract a large number of applications. In light of the current coronavirus pandemic
and most financial service professionals working from home these days, virtual job
interviews are becoming even more common.
Live or pre-recorded video interviews are a simple way to continue the hiring process while
social distancing measures are in place. And even once these are lifted again, virtual
interviews are often easier and less expensive for both the hiring manager and the
candidate, with the opportunity to review your answers and not just rely on notes taken
during an in-person interview.
If you have a video job interview around the corner, it is a great idea to put some time into
preparing your webcam set-up, testing your technology and practicing your body language,
alongside focusing on your answers. Though video interviews are quicker and simpler than
in-person interviews, there is still the issue of possible technical glitches and those who are
camera shy struggling to ‘perform’.
