Video interviews are now standard for the first round, and they come with their own etiquette. Getting the basics right removes needless disadvantages.
Control your environment
A quiet, well-lit space with a tidy background keeps the focus on you, not your surroundings.
Look at the camera
Eye contact online means looking into the lens, not the screen. It's small but makes you far more engaging.
Quick tips
- Test your camera, mic and internet early
- Sit facing a soft light source
- Look into the camera when speaking
- Keep notes nearby but out of view
