Prepare to Ace Your Phone/Video Interview

These days, recruiters are turning to phone and video interviews rather than inviting the candidate to interview in person. Phone and virtual interviews are also used by recruiters as an important early screening of potential employees, and how well you do will determine whether you get invited to have a more formal and thorough interview with the employer. The more you prepare ahead of time, the better the experience and outcome will be.

Part of your preparation should include developing a script that will act as your cheat sheet during the phone or video interview. Prepare answers to common interview questions that you can expect to be asked. Also include questions that you want to ask the interviewer gleaned from the company research you conducted.

Practice your script prior to the call. Recording yourself will let you hear how you sound on the phone, and doing a practice video session will allow you to adjust the lighting, sound, background, camera angle, and other elements conducive to a successful video interview. Conduct a practice phone or video call with a trusted friend to get feedback on your responses to questions as well as on the equipment you'll be using.

Keep a copy of your script and résumé handy for impromptu phone interviews. For scheduled phone and video interviews, prepare a quiet environment devoid of distractions. Have your script, résumé, pen and paper, and a glass of water ready before the interview. Don’t rely too heavily on your script during video interviews, as you want to be making eye contact (with your webcam or phone camera) rather than appear to be reading from your script.

Any job interview, whether phone, video, or in-person, requires careful preparation. The more company research you do ahead of time, the more confident and professional you will be during the interview. Well thought out questions and answers based on your experience combined with research on the company's needs, will give you the ammunition you need to ace the interview.
