Video Interview Handbook
Video interviews aren’t going anywhere. Virtual interviews are easy to arrange and execute, and employers don’t have to book a room in the office or allocate too much time to interview a candidate.
If you are looking for a job it's likely you'll be invited to a video interview. The rules are different than a traditional interview, a video interview is in some ways even more demanding. Generally done in real-time, video interviews can seem daunting but with the right preparation, they can open a lot more opportunities.
We've put together our top tips in one handy guide. In this handbook you'll find:
Live video interview tips
Webcam, audio, and lighting advice – including whether you really need a headset
What documents you should have to hand
Wi-Fi and software information
Video job interview question examples
Body language advice and what to wear
