We are working closely with our clients and candidates to organize interviews online using tools like Skype for Business. Video interviews are not the same as face-to-face interviews, so these tips can help you prepare for and excel your upcoming Skype interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Links Ads- Horizontal -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0548205572604330\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9920129301\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Check computer functionality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is your computer running well? Is your internet working and is there a strong connection? Make sure everything is working smoothly \u2013 the last thing you want is to have your internet stop working mid-interview. If you are on a laptop, plug in a power cable or make sure it is fully charged. Lastly, make sure your phone is silent. A ringing phone mid-interview is a distraction that is easy to avoid. Close all unnecessary tabs on your browser if you are using Skype on your laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Wait for your turn to speak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever noticed the slight lag on some Skype calls? That is usually caused by low signal strength on either end and can lead to awkward moments as each person tries to speak over the other. To help the conversation flow smoothly, wait a little longer than you usually would before you speak \u2013 otherwise your interviewer might not have finished their sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Look at the camera<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your first instincts will be to look at the interviewer, rather than the camera. It may feel strange staring at the little dot of your webcam, however, you will come across as more engaged with the interviewer. Looking into the camera ensures the person conducting the interview feels like you are making eye contact. If seeing yourself is a distraction, cover up your image with a sticky note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Links Ads- Horizontal -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0548205572604330\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9920129301\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Think about your surroundings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key is to make your space (wherever you are conducting the interview) appear as professional as possible. You do not want to have a background that could be distracting to the interviewer, additionally, make sure you de-clutter the space. Test out different lighting options until you find the one that works best. It looks better when you are facing a light source \u2013 if the light is behind you, you will be hidden in shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Minimize interruptions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning your phone on silent is just the beginning \u2013 think about anything else that could distract you during your interview. Shut down any internet tabs that might grab your attention and turn off email alerts. If you live with other people, make sure they know you are going to have an interview so they are quiet and do not disturb you. If you have a pet, move him or her to another room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Update your Skype profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your Skype username is unprofessional your interview could be off to a bad start from the beginning. Bear in mind that everything you say and do in an interview is being used to build up a picture of who you are, so if you must keep your out-of-date Skype handle, then set up a separate account for professional use. Lastly, make sure your Skype profile photo is a professional headshot of just you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Links Ads- Horizontal -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0548205572604330\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9920129301\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Make a backup plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have contact details for your interviewer? These are essential in case of any technological mishaps. An added bonus is that you have an email address to send a polite follow-up and thank you message a few days after your interview. Following the initial interview, ensure all communication with your interviewer is via email and phone \u2013 do not send a follow-up message via Skype Instant Messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video interviews can be less stressful than face-to-face interviews, as long as you prepare and make sure everything goes according to plan.\u00a0 For more help with your job search or hiring requirements, speak to one of our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"specialist consultants  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelpage.ae\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>specialist consultants <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0548205572604330\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9687113448\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many other companies globally, we too, have moved to a fully remote working set up.
