1. Test Technology:

• Test your equipment before the interview. Ensure your Wi-Fi, virtual video platform, microphone, and lighting are all working. 

2. Practice Makes Perfect: 

• Mock interview sessions allow you to check your technology and curate interview responses. 

3. Find a Location:

• Locate a quiet spot for your interview – whether that be a local library, school, or a room in your home. Ensure there are minimal distractions.

4. Customize Your Background:

• Showcase your favorite hobby or quote in your background. This allows you to show off your personality and connect with your interviewer uniquely. 

5. Pick the Right Attire:

• Although virtual, wear professional dress attire as you would during an in-person interview. Dress professionally from head to toe to avoid mishaps (this can save you from standing up in your underwear).  

6. Create Comfort:

• Eat before your interview and use the restroom. This will minimize awkward pauses.

7. RELAX!
