This is how I prepped for my video interview to get my job.
I work for a company called Yoga Club,
and it's a subscription box for women's activewear.
So I took the time to sign up for the box,
and become a customer myself.
Really get a feel for what that customer experience was
like, so that I could speak to it in the interview.
In today's world, the video interview is way more common.
You definitely want to test out your computer.
I recommend doing a quick trial run prior to the interview
to make sure that the sound is good.
You have to make eye contact and really showcase who you are,
and your personality.
It's a little challenging doing that, talking into a camera,
but I think that ultimately helps you stand out.
Here are some ways you can prepare
for your video interview.
First, find a comfortable spot.
I really like this table.
It's the perfect height.
Make sure that the camera is positioned so that you're
right in the middle.
Not too high, not too low.
If you don't have a table at the perfect height,
you can always put a stack of books
under it to help frame your face correctly.
Lighting is also really critical.
I'm in a studio, and the lighting is perfect.
It's all professional.
But if you're at home, you can position yourself
next to a window, or put a lamp in front of you.
It's important to have the light coming directly
at you, versus behind you.
And remember, this is a video interview.
You're on camera, so try not to bite your nails,
play with your hair, or touch your face too much.
So that's how I prepared for my video interview.
I hope it helps you get your job.
