14. CONDUCTING YOUR
SELF DURING THE INTERVIEW:
A: Greet well
There’s a risk of awkwardness when first connecting over video, as it’s not quite the same as
walking into an office. However, it’s still your chance to make a good first impression. Greet the
interviewer politely, and address them by name. Speaking clearly will show confidence, and can help
establish early on that you’re treating this as a serious interview.
B: Make eye contact
Making eye contact with the interviewer can help convey connection with what they’re
saying. But while doing this in person can be a struggle, with a video interview you have a choice -
webcam or screen? A good rule of thumb is to look into the webcam, especially when you’re speaking
so that it appears that you’re looking into the interviewer’s eyes. On the other hand, you can resize and
move the window with the interviewer’s video image close to the webcam to also give the appearance
that you’re making eye contact.
C: Avoid freezing up or appearing bored
Seeming tense can send a bad signal whether you’re in the same room or over a video
connection. When you’re listening to the interviewer, make sure to nod your head and smile when
appropriate to show them that you’re engaged. Smiling genuinely and confidently also gives the
interviewer a good perception of you
15. D: Use hand gestures Use hand gestures
when it feels appropriate, such as when you’re talking about your work
experience or a time when you had to solve a difficult problem at work. It’ll help keep you
lively.
E: Have good posture
Having good posture can help you convey confidence and optimism, as well
as maintain your on-camera framing. For example, you should sit in your chair with your
back straight and shoulders open, leaning slightly forward, feet firmly planted on the floor,
and arms resting on your lap or on the desk.
F: Position yourself correctly in front of the camera
You should position yourself in the centre of the screen, facing the camera
while looking up slightly, and not too close that your face fills the screen or too far that
your legs can be seen or you can’t be heard. Also adjust your chair so that you’re not too
low or high in the frame.
G: Stay focused
It’s important to stay focused on the interview, so don’t let your gaze drift away
from the webcam or computer screen or talk about non-work-related things. Also avoid
checking email, social media, your phone, and so on while the interviewer’s talking.
H: Don’t do anything too distracting
When making hand gestures, keep them close to your body so you don’t distract
the interviewer. What’s more, don’t fidget, swivel or rock in your chair, twirl your hair, tap
your fingernails or a pen on the desk, touch your face, or jingle noisy Jewells
16. I: Apologise for any unexpected interruptions Make sure to apologise for any interruptions
during the interview
For example: If the video or audio stops working on your end, call the interviewer,
apologise, and ask if you can continue the interview by phone or if you can reschedule.
