7 Tips for Virtual interview in English

 

Tip 1: Prepare your voice beforehand

Your voice tells a lot about you during a Virtual interview. You want it to sound relaxed, professional, and eager. Avoid coughing or clearing your throat too much. Before your interview, practice speaking aloud or even singing. Sipping on hot tea or water can also help. And here's a pro tip: smile while you speak to sound friendly yet professional.

 

Tip 2: Dress appropriately

Even though they can't see your pants or skirt, dressing professionally puts you in the right mindset. It's tempting to stay in your pajamas, but wearing business attire helps you stay focused and professional throughout the interview.

 

Tip 3: Answer professionally

When you answer, avoid using a rising intonation like you're asking a question. Instead, say "Hello, this is [Your Name]" with a confident tone that goes down.

 

Tip 4: Ensure your materials are easily accessible

One advantage of a virtual interview is that you can have your resume, job description, and LinkedIn page in front of you. Have these materials ready on your desk so you can easily reference them during the call.

 

Tip 5: Take a moment before responding

Feeling nervous might make you want to rush your answers. But taking a brief pause before responding shows that you're composed and thoughtful. Watch the video for a demonstration of how long this pause should be.

 

Tip 6: Familiarize yourself with the necessary information

Before your virtual interview, familiarize yourself with the company's website, values, mission, and the job description. Using keywords and power words from these sources will impress the interviewer.

 

Tip 7: Express gratitude

After the interview, be sure to thank your interviewer on the phone. Additionally, sending a short thank-you note or email on the same day shows your appreciation and eagerness for the position, making you more memorable to the interviewer.
