1. Make sure your internet connection is good, I once lost a good when my netwoek lost signal during second-stage interview. Trust it wasn't funny at all. You can also prepare a backup network just in case.
2. Mute your microphone, obly unmute when you want to talk.
3. If possible, open up ypur browser on your PC to the necessary information the interviewers will ask you while the app and meeting itself should be on your phone.

Please do not share your attention during the interview, and make sure the interview is on your PC. Prepare beforehand and let God take control.

Golden advice for you. Write out responses to some basic interview questions in a notepad and place it just above your zoom video (which you should minimize just enough to see all the expressions of the speaker). Use these responses as your template to provide well-worded responses to the questions.

Re: My First Zoom Interview by Ikea81: 4:40pm On Mar 01, 2023
Quiet environment, good lighting, check your audio before the interview ensure you have enough data( 1.5gb will do), look straight into the camera, relax, smile , dress smart and ensure you listen to the questions properly and answer smartly.

Most importantly , work on your intro....it's always the first question:::;tell me about yourself, or walk me.through your CV....what you say in that 3-5mins will make or mar the whole process....be confident . I trust you will do well. Good luck!

1.
The weather is hot.

You might get nervous and start sweating.

Do you have a gen? In case there is no power you'll need it.

Biko, just make sure you sit under a noiseless fan and cool yourself off.

2. Where will you sit. Are you using a phone or laptop?

Position yourself and device where you will sit tomorrow for the interview?

Open your camera like you are taking a selfie.

Take it at yourself and your surroundings. Look at your back. Remove the things that can disfigure your environment.

Continue going round your space until you find where you like.

Make sure there is a sufficient lighting on your face.

Get your writing materials or anything you might need on a table nearby which is not seen on camera. You don't want to standing up to get stuff.

3. When you log in with the link or passcode. Write your name and position you applied for in the space where your name is requested.

In the screen that follows, look below at the bottom left.

Click the place that says audio.

Select the option that says “Auto Connect Audio” and choose "Wifi or Cellular Data".

Then unmute your self so that you can be heared.

One last thing, no distractions. Keep your phones on silent and warn those around you if you live with others to keep quiet or not disturb.

Don't worry!!! You'll be fine.

Just like the normal face-face interviews. Just be yourself, smile, listen attentively and respond as intelligently as you can.
Relax it will be fun!
I would advice you use a good ear-piece for better audibility.
Re: My First Zoom Interview by kenny714433(m): 5:15pm On Mar 01, 2023
Most important, when you connect with your interviewee, make sure you click on the microphone icon on the zoom interface to show you have unmuted yourself. That's when you want to speak.
It will ask you Wi-Fi or cellular data, choose cellular data.
Also, click on the camera icon to appear live if it's a video call which I suspect it is.

Always ensure to mute your mic when you're not speaking else they will hear your neighbour knacking at the background.

I prefer Google meet to zoom though

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.
Exactly how I got my current job with prayers .
Re: My First Zoom Interview by greatsam767(m): 5:38pm On Mar 01, 2023

Re: My First Zoom Interview by Focusmind: 6:18pm On Mar 01, 2023
First: Ensure that your gadgets are top-notch. Your data and video quality of your phone or laptop should be superb
Second: Have your jotter and pen to take note - that shows you to be a listening person and one who takes note
Third: Do not interrupt any of the interviewer when he or she is talking. Wait till he or she is done for you to respond. Manage your impulse very well.
Fourth: Learn very well how to introduce yourself with emphasis on your current role and achievements.
Fifth: Make your answers short, simple and action-packed. Use more of action words in your explanation.
[b]Sixth: [/b]Do not fail to ask intelligent questions at the end of the interview. Your question should center on current challenges facing the industry where the company is operating. Your question should have something to do with current happenings or what you recently read,

Good luck!

grin grin grin. Let me tell you the format, talking from experience that land me my current job. Even though I performed woefully. If no be because of connection I 4 no get the job.

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!!!
" even though I performed woefully"

Does it mean you didn't answer any question correctly?
