Some pointers for doing successful video interviews
Examine your apparatus To prevent problems, make sure you have checked your
internet, audio, and video connections before the interview.
Select a quiet area To avoid interruptions and background noise, look for a
calm area to conduct the interview.
Even if the interview is remote, you should still present yourself properly to
demonstrate that you're taking it seriously.
Make sure you maintain eye contact by looking directly into the camera to
convey that you are having a straight discussion.
Ask follow-up questions Show the applicant that you are interested in getting
to know them by following up with questions.
