  • Check it works!! Practice in advance not 5 mins before the interview time!!
  • Arrive 10 minutes early as you would if the interview was face to face.
  • Have the camera/phone ideally on a flat surface and the light in front of you not from behind otherwise you will be in shadow.
  • Try to have a clutter free background, close the door to the room. Try to find a quiet spot.
  • Treat the interview as if it were in person – dress appropriately.
  • Have a pen and paper on the desk, copy of the job spec and your CV in front of you.
  • Its ok to take notes and refer to your notes during the interview! You could inform the interviewer you have notes, so they don’t think you are looking away!
  • Try to using eye contact as much as you can!
