How to Prepare for a Job Interview on Video

I have a Zoom Interview! What Should I do?

The question for today is, “I have a Zoom interview but I’m used to in-person interviews, what should I do?

I am Martin Buckland, and I help senior executives across the world, reach their career goals. 

I’m going to answer that question and then tell you how to wow them in an interview.

My tips for zoom are

1. Enter that Zoom meeting early. You want to be there when they press that button.
2. Check your internet speed. You don’t want to drop halfway through the interview. Technology can challenge you. It challenges me and don’t let it challenge you throughout the interview because it will distract you. Make sure you’re prepared.
3. Make sure you’ve done all your research and make sure behind you is clean, neat, and tidy. Don’t have any dirty laundry or books hanging from the wall or pictures askew. You need to have it neat and tidy because it’s all part of your brand.
4. Wrap the interview up just like you would an in-person interview. Thank them for their time and ask them when you will be hearing on the next interview or when you would get the job offer
5. Ensure your attire is exactly the same as an in-person interview. You need to be smart. You need to dress accordingly. Find out the corporate culture and what they wear when they are in that office. You want to make sure you are professionally dressed accordingly.
