How Can I Prepare For A Telephonic / Zoom / Online / Virtual Interview?

The preparation remains the same as a real-world one, the offline one.

You must:

  • Know about the industry

  • Know about the company

  • Know about the job profile

  • Know about the interviewer (it is mega important!)

  • ensure your profile is updated

  • ensure you have all your numbers in place

  • ensure you are dressed for the part

  • have rested well the night before

  • had a healthy bowl of breakfast

  • and tell yourself you can do this!

In addition, you should:

  • ensure you are in a no-noise space

  • have a decent background (if not using a virtual background)

  • have tested the software the interviewer will be using

  • have a decent microphone

  • have put a DND - Do Not Disturb on your door/space if you are sharing it with others
