Test your webcam and microphone to ensure that the video quality is good and the sound is clear with the appropriate app (i.e. Zoom) before the interview.
Additionally check that your battery will last the whole interview.
Try to connect directly to your router with an ethernet cable. This will be more dependable than WiFi and also check your Internet speed.

Make sure that your face is well lit from behind the webcam. Choose a plain and professional background i.e. a white wall or a bookcase.
You should put your phone on silent and ask other people in your home not to disturb you during the meeting.

First impressions are important and your professional appearance shows the interviewer youโre serious about the job. Try to wear a formal outfit and brush your hair (you may want to shave if appropriate).
If you have glasses remember that they can reflect what’s on your screen to the interviewer.

Make sure you are sitting up straight with your shoulders back and head up. Donโt forget to make eye contact by looking directly into the camera.
