Essentials before the video interview
- Experiment. Familiarise yourself with the video platform, use it with friends/family to ensure the camera and audio are working with no technical issues.

Top tips for video interviews
Other things to consider:
Punctuality
Aim to be ready at least 5 minutes beforehand so that you have time to relax and prepare.
Backgrounds
Set up your camera so that it's facing a neutral background, with any distractions removed.
Dress code
Dress appropriately, as you would for a face-to-face interview.
Eye contact
Look directly into the camera and make eye contact with your interviewer to show you are engaged.
Drink
Make sure to grab yourself a drink, you are welcome to bring it along to the interview.
Noises
Use a room where there is minimal background noise or chance of being disturbed.
Positioning
Position yourself so that you are in the centre of the screen.
Be yourself
As with face-to-face interviews, video interviews can help showcase you, your skills and personality. It is important that you be yourself and do not let virtual reality obscure who you are in real life.
Lighting
Check that the room has good lighting and that your face is clearly visible.
Calls
If using a mobile phone, divert any incoming calls to voicemail to prevent distraction.
Audio
Consider using headphones for better audio quality.
