What are the most important tips for virtual interviews?

As entrevistas virtuais passaram a ser corriqueiras em muitos processos seletivos, normalmente nas primeiras etapas. Na minha opini?o, o candidato pode tirar proveito dessa oportunidade causando uma boa impress?o ao entrevistador, para tanto é importante estar atento aos detalhes. Certifique-se de que o sinal de internet, a camera, o microfone e a ilumina??o estejam adequados para chamada de vídeo. Conhe?a a plataforma (Zoom, Skype, Teams, Meet) que será realizada a entrevista, além disso esteja disponível com pelo menos quinze minutos de antecedência para iniciar a reuni?o, pois apenas esses detalhes já mostram um bom senso de organiza??o.

Testing your technology before the virtual interview is very important to ensure it works and can be used to communicate effectively. In the 15 to 30 minutes before interview, check the internet connection, download any necessary software to ensure the connection is strong enough to sustain streaming video. Then sign in to the video or phone meeting provided by the hiring manager. Turn on the sound and video to ensure everything is working for your conversation.

Do not use too much filtering, like applying a background. In my experience and based on literature, your brain constantly needs to assess a three-dimensional frame. Applying a background filter makes it hard for your brain to assess the situation. That is why doing a lot of online communications can be so exhausting. Use a neutral background, like just white, a plant, a spacious book closed or self, etc. It will calm down the brain, which makes it easier to be listened to.

A oportunidade da entrevista virtual carrega consigo algumas tarefas prévias como, por exemplo, a verifica??o da tecnologia que será utilizada. Testar vídeo e som, previamente, bem como a conex?o, podem ser cruciais para a ocasi?o.

Antes de la entrevista, asegúrate de que tu cámara, micrófono y conexión a internet funcionen correctamente. Un fallo técnico puede causar una mala impresión. Una vez, durante una entrevista virtual, mi micrófono dejó de funcionar de repente. Desde entonces, siempre hago una prueba de audio y video antes de cada entrevista para evitar sorpresas desagradables.

Presenting oneself in formal attire, even in virtual settings, conveys professionalism and preparedness. This impacts the interviewer’s perception positively, increasing the chances of a successful interview outcome. Indeed, empirical research indicates that dressing professionally for interviews significantly influences interview outcomes. The emphasis on appropriate and well-maintained attire, including the details such as color coordination and wrinkle-free clothes, plays a crucial role in forming a favorable first impression.

O candidato deverá ter em mente que é uma entrevista profissional, o fato de ser remota n?o deve remeter a informalidade. Vista-se adequadamente, lembrando que a camera estará ligada e que possivelmente será a primeira impress?o que o entrevistador terá de você, desta forma evite usar camisetas, bonés, bermudas, etc. Ter uma boa postura, inclusive com vestimentas adequadas, demonstra seriedade e respeito pelo processo seletivo.

"Dress for the occasion, not the location" is a common phrase to clarify the misconception that virtual interview dressing rules do not apply. There shouldn't be any differences in the dress code when having a virtual admissions interview. This applies to both, the interviewee AND the interviewer. Both sides should be aware of the respective local customs. When an interview happens across time zones and hemispheres, different dress codes should be accepted.

Vestir-se adequadamente, alinhado com a linha da empresa contratante, também pode ser um fator seletivo na entrevista virtual.

Prompts like "Give me a question that might be asked in a first round interview for an assistant professor position in a Department of Mathematics at a R1 institution" are likely to generate reasonable estimates of questions you might be asked. Additionally, prepare a list of approximately 5 key messages you want the interviewers to leave with, and find ways to incorporate them in your responses whenever possible. This conveys a coherent and consistent message about you and your values throughout your entire interview, so that the interviewer leaves with a solid vision of you in the role.

Sometimes, the virtual environment may be relaxing, but we must not forget that an interview is an interview, and one's professional future can hinge on it. Punctuality, correctness, and professionalism are crucial in face-to-face and professional settings. Let's not overlook everything we know just because we're communicating through a camera.

As an interviewer, take on the full responsibility of making the interview process a successful one. Inform your interviewee of what to expect in terms of technology, why you chose them, and the scope of the interview. Ask for a copy of anything they plan to share on screen and have ready-access to it all. Guests may want to and be able to navigate this on their own, but be prepared to step in. Ask for a 15 minute pre-interview check in. Develop and share your written agenda with interviewees. Make sure that any "surprises" are good ones by controlling the space in terms of questions and interactions. The best case scenario is to have a dedicated person to help with any issues that may arise so you can concentrate on your guest.

Do your homework, both as an interviewer as well as an interviewee. Know with whom you are speaking. Every person has their own interaction needs, so never convey them similarly. Could you take more time to assess non-verbally? Most people think observing non-verbally is harder online, but nothing is further from the truth. You need to know what kind of cues you need to look out for. Do not think you can read someone's feelings or emotions based on micro-expressions, but you can read their state of action readiness: is someone willing or not willing to give you the information you need? So knowing your impact is also important for every kind of online interview.

Really connecting with someone and communicating well with them is always important, especially in an interview, but virtual interviews pose unique challenges. So put extra effort into: - making good eye contact. In a virtual interview, this does not mean looking at another person’s eyes on your screen! It means looking in the direction of your camera, at least periodically. This takes some practice and you should work with a colleague to get it right. It helps if you can arrange your screen so the the other person is displayed as close to your camera as possible. - paying close attention to body language, both the other person’s and yours. In a virtual interview this takes more work, but it is crucial for good communication.

Recently, I was on the panel interviewing interns and the one stuck out a lot as she really thought about the questions being asked. The applicant showed great confidence pausing for an extended time to think while one the Zoom call. It seems minor, but the consideration and time taken was impactful.
