It's very easy make sure you are familiar with the application.
Dress as you would in a normal physical interview
Stay in a plain background white background if possible
Ensure there is proper lightening
Connect with an earpiece or airpods
Stay in a quiet environment without distraction
Ensure your have good Internet speed, you can check fast dot com to check your Internet speed
Always be on mute if you ain't speaking

I hope this helps. Good luck on your interview

Don't panic, make sure where you are attending interview is quiet, dress cooperate if they will used video meeting so that they will know you are serious and please learn how to introduce yourself very well and make findings about the company. What they do, how they work.

Lastly, if you don't know any question that they ask you just tell them you will learn from them.

Note my advice doesn't guarantee you will get the job. Make sure u pray
Best of luck!!!

Be ready to answer questions like: tell me about yourself; why are you applying for this position?; why this company?; where do you see yourself after five years?; how do you handle a stressful situation?; what are your strengths and weakness?any questions for us?; these are but few questions which are structured to get actual responses from you on what exactly they would be judging, please read about them and how you should structure your answers because each of these questions are asked for a particular reason, go online to study. Finally, make sure you practice, practice and practice! I can never overemphasize this! Good luck.

Use MTN
Endure your Laptop/Phone is not too full nor lags
Re: My First Zoom Interview by IrepChrist: 3:20pm On Mar 01, 2023
Make sure you resolve all technicalities ahead i.e audio and video.

Your data network should be strong.

Dress formal like it's on-site.

Get a sticker paper, write key points on your resume and stick it close to your web cam.

Pray.

Best of favour.

Be bold & focus.
Re: My First Zoom Interview by Lexcott: 3:23pm On Mar 01, 2023
What's up I am interested in replying to this because I lost a dream job because of some technical issues during the zoom interview.

My advise is:

1. Dress formal: Wear your suit, and tie. No need to wear the trouser and shoe sha..lol grin
2. Test your system before the interview: Get a relative to test run zoom with so you can see all the glitches.
3. Get a strong internet connection, if you are using you phone put it on do not disturb...So no calls come in them and start network issue.
4. Check your microphone and Video. Grant zoom permissions to access mic and video.
5. Pray they pick you. Smile and act confident...fake it till you make it.

I had my first online interview about four years ago. Here are some tips that helped me land the job:

1. Dress well. Don't go to the interview flashing your bare-chest or wearing boxers.

2. Get quality internet. Have at least two networks on standby. And use usb tethering instead of wireless hotspot. It's more reliable. Personally, I use my other SIM which I don't receive calls with for internet. You don't want a call to break your internet connection.

3. Be confident. Say what you know clearly and avoid talking about what you know nothing about. You can use idea if you have idea but don't use idea when you have no idea. Many interviewers will respect you for acknowledging your imperfection (that's if you're not 60% imperfect).

4. Get a pen and paper especially if it's a coding/technical interview. You'll also need it to jot points and questions so you won't be saying "please repeat your second point, I've forgotten it".

5. Do NOT cheat.

6. Be professional. Avoid laughing, only give a big smile at the funniest jokes.

7. All the above are only guidelines. What matters most is that you go into the interview prepared and full of confidence and composure.

May God help you.

be yourself, be confident, show enthusiastic about the role
iyf you dont know asnwer to question say so, or you can ask for rewording.

nevertheless, ask two to three questions about the job, what determine success on the job, the interview process
Re: My First Zoom Interview by Nwanna2588: 3:35pm On Mar 01, 2023
Hope it is not from all these online teaching interviews. The last time I was interviewed by one (edukoya), I aced it but was never called.

Meanwhile, no big deal. Just find a serene atmosphere and keep all the materials they demanded around you. Make sure you have enough data and lasting battery power. Lastly, keeping your phone on the other mode is preferred. The last one is your exuding confidence to assure them that you can do it.
Re: My First Zoom Interview by Rocktation(f): 3:36pm On Mar 01, 2023
What's your source of internet? Will it be your phone? Find your local network codes to block those village people from calling you, during the interview.
Re: My First Zoom Interview by Naijaepic: 3:38pm On Mar 01, 2023
Put your phone into "Donot disturb mode"

They won't see the boxers. Hehehe. Anyways, make sure u login b4 they do. Make sure ur room is well lit & quiet. Your earpiece should have a mouth piece so they can hear u clearly & lastly, look directly into ur camera lens, not on ur screen.
