Preparing for your virtual Interview
Your virtual interview using Microsoft Teams:
- Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with Microsoft Teams to ensure you can join the interview on time and without disruption
- Double check your Internet connection
- Dress the part, just because it’s online doesn’t mean we won’t see you
- Check your mic/audio before the meeting
- Do a test run
- Find a quiet place to do your interview with good lighting
Answering questions:
- Pace yourself
- Try to remember the main point of the question and not to go off topic
- Ask for the question to be repeated
- Make notes on a note pad in front of you (don’t use your computer or phone, it’s distracting)
- Ask us questions
