We have created a simple and helpful guide for you should you be interviewing remotely. To download the full guide, please fill in your details below.

A few of our practical tips include:

  1. Testing your technology in advance. Make sure that everything is working properly – your computer (your battery)/mic/webcam and ensure that if you need to download software you have done so in advance and undertaken a trial log in.
  2. Choose your background, camera position and lighting carefully.
  3. Dress for a face to face interview! You will feel more confident and prepared for the unexpected.
  4. Print off your CV and the job spec and have a pen and paper handy for taking notes as well as a glass of water. 
  5. Choose a room that will be distraction and noise free – ensure you will not be disturbed by family/pets/ringing phones etc.
