2.  Dress in formal attire.
 Neat and well ironed clothing.
 Avoid very bright or dull colours. Shades of blue
look better on camera than bright colours like
red.
 Also, opt for solids instead of stripes or dots as
they could be distracting

3.  Style your hair well and ensure it is off your face

4.  Ladies, use a light foundation, eye liner, and a
lip colour in soft shades to look professional

5.  Sit up straight with shoulders squared.
 Do not sit as close to the computer as you
normally would.
 Instead, sit a bit farther back so that your face
and upper shoulders are framed in the shot

6.  Smile and maintain eye contact throughout the
interview.
 Do not get distracted and look away from the
screen

7.  Have a professional username and profile picture

8.  Clear the background and make it look like a
formal polished work place.
 Do not have a very bright coloured wall or a
large painting in the background as it could be
distracting.
 You will look much more professional sitting at a
desk or table and against a neutral background
without any clutter.

9.  Check for appropriate lighting and keep in mind
the time of the interview

10.  Check the camera and mic quality

11.  Do a test call with a friend or family member
and before the interview
