I actually disagree on the Headphone part. I'd rather have good audio with a decent mic during an interview. If a company rejects you because you were wearing headphones, I'd say you dodged a bullet

@federicomontesdeoca8977 2 года назад

totally agree

@TheTalisman515 Год назад

If you don’t wear headphones you get audio feedback from speakers that will mess up your audio

@benjaminshapiro1618 28 дней назад

@@TheTalisman515 I think wearing headphones especially certain types of headphones can make you look unprofessional. I've never had feedback issues when using the laptop's speaker for a video call

@ZHC_Adventures 3 года назад

I would also recommend printing out a copy of your resume and any reference material and sticking it next to you to glance at or creating an outline for things you want to cover.

"Use External speakers and Microphones in Computer!!" REALLY??

@mrnarason 14 дней назад

I think that maybe some wired headphones make you look a little bit dorky, so use airpods or some wireless earbuds

@YoTeeFan 3 года назад

This was super helpful, I am a very visual person, using the "props" during this clip really helped me out to see what not to do or what to do with explaining what was going on in that exact moment, at my church, my pastor uses props when explaining a bible verse and me being the visual learner that I am helps me tremendously learn and understand being a visual learner! This was done greatly!

@connorminney4691 3 года назад

I disagree with the headphones. I’m more concerned with clearly hearing the interviewee.

@geoffk777 3 года назад

Honestly, you won't go wrong by wearing a suit, even if the interviewer is dressed casually. Just say, "I think it's appropriate to wear business attire for a first interview." and you'll probably score points for trying to be serious.

@federicomontesdeoca8977 2 года назад

it really depends on the position though

@geoffk777 2 года назад

@@federicomontesdeoca8977 I suppose that there are industries and positions where this is so, but for a corporate job, even at a junior level, a suit is a sign that you're serious, clean and business-like. Maybe you can get away without it, but it's the safest option, even for someone like a programmer, who may not usually wear them. I was a systems administrator in an investment bank, and we commonly wore suits while crawling around under desks and carrying computers. Because it was a business setting, and that's what you wear for it.

@natalilo85331 Год назад

Not at a creative agency in Brooklyn. No way you get the job in a suit.

@calebnorman9923 3 года назад

I'm no executive/high status manager, but I certainly don't agree that solely using your computer mic is a good option. Over-ear headphones can definitely be overkill, but just using earbuds with a decent mic (especially one that's intelligent and filters out background noise) are a great solution.

@TonyGanzerMedia 2 года назад

As a long-time radio guy I disagree with the comment about headphones and mics. Good audio matters, and it's important you can hear clearly. Especially in the age of RU-vid and podcasts it's good to aim for the best quality you can--even earbuds and a USB mic. Just my $0.02.

@TheTalisman515 Год назад

Agreed

@cometome8194 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing great tips.

@alfredoromero4518 3 года назад

First, is best to have a deep background with some richness on the scene. Second, have good lighting even with a small desk light hitting you from the side or plain front could give it a ore interesting look

@NDemanuele1 2 года назад

What about if you have to record your own interview? Some companies ask you to conduct your own interview without an interviewer. I suppose it's the same.

@jesseabraham5410 3 года назад

I hate video interviews. Seems like only good looking people or those with good facial symmetry appear "friendly" on camera. And what's with these non technical questions like what something felt like, uh lady, I thought I was interviewing for a hardware engineering role, not an emotional, get in touch with my feelings job.

This is definitely level 1. E.g. 1) Post it note vs just turning off your self view in the program. 2) Imbedded mike and regular lighting vs studio lighting and professional sound. 3) Blank walls = No personality.

We shouldnt have to adapt to video interviews. The interview process is a two way street and removing any and all agency the person applying has to ask questions is atrocious. Hiring practices like this should be frowned upon or illegal.
