How to nail the remote job interview ?

A candidate's ability to convey nuance and subtlety during a remote interview, where body language is limited and the free-flowing communicative balance of a face-to-face interview is reduced to a two-dimensional chat, presents some clever challenges.

Be warned that there are a few simple, yet crucial, principles of remote interviewing that, if followed, will increase the likelihood of a callback and increase your chances of getting the job.

• Keep up the good appearance :-It's still important to make a good first impression, even if it's just over Zoom.Dressing adequately is still a sign of respect and professionalism, even if the old joke about people going to interviews in shorts and a suit shirt is more accurate than we'd like to admit.Dressing appropriately for the interview is the clearest, cleanest, and greatest first impression you can create, even if other aspects of a remote interview are arguably more essential (such as lighting or testing your internet connection), as I?note below.
• Lighting should be checked :-A simple remote interview hack is to avoid sitting in front of a window or other source of light.Take a window as an example. If there's a powerful light source behind you, the camera's white balance will be thrown off, and you'll look like a dark shadow while you're talking. Obviously, that won't work. Therefore, illumination should come from directly in front of you, rather than from above or below.
• Get yourself to a place where you won't be judged :-What I?mean is, when you go to an interview, consider how the setting reflects on you. This should be taken into account.Is there anything salacious, private, unprofessional, or distracting in the vicinity of where you will be doing the interview? If so, get rid of it. I recommend keeping the entire frame as neutral as possible, or using a neutral virtual background if that's something you enjoy. The finest kinds of backdrops, I've found, have some character (like a real bookcase) yet aren't too distracting.?
• Pets :-?As much as we adore our animal pals, it's better to keep them out of earshot during the interview so they don't disrupt your concentration.
• Family :-?If you want to minimise any sound follow-through or random walk-ins, it's best to let anyone living in the house know ahead of time that you'll be having an interview. It may be funny and harmless,?but it's never acceptable to do so during a job interview.
• Phones,notifications :-?Regarding phones, notifications, alerts, and other screens, consider this: you wouldn't turn up the volume on your phone during a face-to-face interview, so why do it now? As with looking at a document during an interview, I understand that there may be unusual circumstances in which you need to look at another screen for reference information, but in general, you should turn off all other digital devices and focus solely on the task at hand.
• Time-keeping :-This is a quick and easy solution to avoid being late for a video conference interview. So arrive early, relax in the virtual waiting area, and bask in the reflected glory of your punctuality. In addition, it makes a fantastic first impression.
• Do a system check :-Lastly, make sure everything technological is in working order. This includes the internet connection, the video call link, the webcam quality, and the lighting setup.Minutes before a video interview is the worst time for a simple administrative mistake that should have been fixed days before to crop up. When in doubt, ask too many questions; it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to technology issues like broken Zoom links and sketchy internet connections.

Keep in mind that even though you are not in charge of hosting the interview, that doesn't mean you get out of making sure everything goes swimmingly for the interviewer. Don't try to out-interview your interviewer.
