1 Know your technology

One of the most important aspects of virtual interviews is the technology you use. You need to make sure that your device, internet connection, camera, microphone, and software are working properly and securely. You also need to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of the platform you will use, such as Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet. A good coaching method is to do a test run with a friend or a colleague before the actual interview. This way, you can check your audio and video quality, adjust your lighting and background, and practice your eye contact and body language.

When working with a new technical platform don't forget to check your username! Make sure your user/screen name is an accurate representation of yourself with your first and last name clearly visible. Do not use a friend or family member's account, a nickname, or a business name. In some cases, joining your interview under someone's name (other than your own) can completely disqualify you from consideration.

2 Research the company and the role

Another essential coaching method is to research the company and the role you are applying for. You need to show that you are interested and informed about the organization, its mission, vision, values, culture, and goals. You also need to understand the expectations and responsibilities of the position, and how your skills and experience match them. A good coaching method is to use the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to prepare relevant and specific examples of your achievements and challenges that demonstrate your fit for the role.

This part is very important. You need to make the interviewer understand that you did your homework by searching about the company and showing great interest in it. Also, it's important that you have the ability to showcase your skills and explain why you would be a perfect match for the role. Keep in mind some projects you participated previously that can show the interviewer what you have to offer for the company. You don't have to keep talking non-stop during all interview, just make sure the interviewer understands your POV and interest.

3 Prepare your answers and questions

One of the most common and difficult parts of any interview is answering and asking questions. You need to anticipate the types of questions you will face, such as behavioral, situational, technical, or competency-based questions. You also need to prepare your own questions to ask the interviewer, such as about the company culture, the team dynamics, the feedback process, or the next steps. A good coaching method is to use the CARL framework (Context, Action, Result, Learning) to structure your answers and questions in a clear and concise way.

4 Practice your delivery and feedback

One of the most effective coaching methods is to practice your delivery and feedback. You need to rehearse your answers and questions out loud, preferably with a coach, a mentor, or a peer who can give you constructive and honest feedback. You also need to pay attention to your tone, pace, volume, and clarity of your speech, as well as your facial expressions, gestures, and posture. A good coaching method is to record yourself and watch it back, or use tools like InterviewStream or BigInterview to simulate a virtual interview and get feedback.

5 Manage your stress and emotions

One of the most challenging coaching methods is to manage your stress and emotions. Virtual interviews can be nerve-wracking and stressful, especially if you face technical issues, distractions, or unexpected questions. You need to cope with your anxiety and nervousness, and project confidence and enthusiasm. A good coaching method is to use relaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises, meditation, or positive affirmations, before and during the interview. You also need to use emotional intelligence skills, such as empathy, self-awareness, and self-regulation, to connect with the interviewer and handle any difficulties.

In general, as long as your computer is functioning properly and you have confidence in your skills, along with having done thorough research on the company beforehand, you should be in good shape. Regardless, I typically recommend to candidates preparing for an interview to research the individual they will be speaking with. Discovering common interests or simply having some knowledge about the interviewer can help in lowering the before-interview stress and emotions. If you lack confidence in your skills, consider scheduling a 1:1 Mock Interview with another recruiter (like me). They can provide valuable feedback on areas for improvement and guide you on what you need to focus on.

6 Follow up and reflect

One of the most important coaching methods is to follow up and reflect. You need to send a thank-you email to the interviewer within 24 hours, expressing your appreciation, interest, and value for the opportunity. You also need to ask for feedback, if possible, and learn from your strengths and weaknesses. A good coaching method is to use the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) to set your goals, assess your reality, explore your options, and commit to your actions for improvement.
