Whether you are applying for a remote job or a hybrid role, you need to impress the interviewer from behind the screen. Here are some tips on how to ace remote interviews and showcase your skills and personality.

Test your tech:

Before your interview, run a full tech check. Make sure your internet is stable, test your camera and mic, and familiarize yourself with the video platform to avoid any hiccups.

1 Prepare your technology

The last thing you want is a technical glitch that disrupts your interview or makes you look unprofessional. Before the interview, test your internet connection, camera, microphone, and software. Make sure you have a backup plan in case something goes wrong. For example, you can have a phone number ready to call the interviewer if the video call fails. Also, charge your devices and close any unnecessary tabs or programs that might slow down your performance.

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode and have your hotspot handy in case you need it. Dry-runs before the interview with family/friends also helps, especially if you're going to interview via an app you haven't used before.

This can be the easiest ways to get yourself disqualified if you don't have it figured out. Think about it: if you're applying for a remote/hybrid role, and can't figure it out when you have advanced notice, how can they trust you on the job? Make sure you're in a quiet area, and you test your internet connection the day of, and an hour before. If it's a phone interview, save the number to you phone so you know it's them. If it's a video interview, test out the link as soon as you get it, and 15 minutes before the interview so there's enough time to figure it out. Make sure lighting & audio settings on your end are clear. Plug in your devices or make sure they're fully charged.

A big thing to focus on when preparing technology is how are you going to maintain eye contact through a webcam and screen. I always suggest you align the window of the platform you are using to be close to the location of your camera. Doing this will make eye contact more natural.

2 Choose a suitable location

Your location can affect how the interviewer perceives you and how comfortable you feel during the interview. Find a quiet, well-lit, and tidy place where you can have privacy and minimal distractions. Avoid busy backgrounds or loud noises that might divert the attention from you. You can also use a virtual background or a plain wall to create a professional impression. Make sure you have enough space to move and gesture naturally and that your face and upper body are visible on the screen.

3 Dress appropriately

Even though you are not meeting the interviewer in person, you still need to dress appropriately for the role and the company culture. Dressing well can boost your confidence and show your respect for the interview. Research the dress code of the organization and choose an outfit that matches it. Avoid wearing anything too casual, flashy, or distracting. Also, consider how your clothes look on the camera and avoid patterns or colors that might clash with your background or skin tone.

Neutral colors such as navy blue, gray, tan, olive, or black are ideal for video interviews. Unless it has been communicated previously, business casual attire is appropriate.

4 Practice your communication skills

Communication skills are essential for any job, but especially for remote work. You need to demonstrate that you can communicate clearly, effectively, and professionally in a virtual setting. To practice your communication skills, you can do a mock interview with a friend or a coach and ask for feedback. You can also record yourself and watch how you speak, listen, and respond. Pay attention to your tone, pace, volume, and body language. Avoid filler words, interruptions, or distractions. Smile, nod, and maintain eye contact with the interviewer.

Every platform is different for virtual interviews. In my experience, taking a few minutes to practice with an interviewing buddy or job coach can really help lessen the stress of potential tech issues that may occur during an interview.

Proper pacing is very important in these situations. Don't speak too fast neither too slow. Be calm and relaxed and the pacing will take care of itself.

5 Research the company and the role

One of the best ways to ace remote interviews is to show that you have done your homework and that you are genuinely interested in the company and the role. Research the company's mission, vision, values, products, services, and culture. Find out what are the main goals, challenges, and opportunities for the role you are applying for. Prepare some relevant questions to ask the interviewer and some examples of how you can add value to the team and the organization.

Prepare on how you and your values align with the organization. It's not only important to research about the company, but also important to connect your goals, aspirations and expectations with that company. Go through the job description properly and be clear about how your skills align to the role. Also ask questions on the skills you currently don't have and how you can go about learning them.

6 Follow up after the interview

After the interview, you should send a thank-you note to the interviewer within 24 hours. This is a polite and professional way to express your appreciation, reiterate your interest, and highlight your strengths. You can also use this opportunity to address any questions or concerns that were not covered during the interview or to share any additional information that might support your candidacy. Keep your note concise, personalized, and positive. Also, make sure you check your spelling and grammar before sending it.

In my experience, a thank you note showcases your gratitude for the time and effort the interviewer took out of their day to review your profile and to connect with you on how your career goals match the job opening. #attitudeofgratitude
