Top Tips for Remote Job Interviews: What Employers Really Notice
As remote interviews continue to rise, candidates must adapt to a new kind of first impression — one made through a screen. While the environment may have changed, expectations remain high.
Start by setting up your space. Choose a quiet, well-lit area with minimal distractions. Test your internet connection, webcam, and microphone in advance. Dress as you would for an in-person interview — full attire, not just the top half!
During the interview, look into the camera to maintain eye contact, and avoid multitasking or checking notifications. Have your CV and job description printed or on another screen for reference. Keep answers structured using the STAR technique, and don’t forget to smile — energy still matters online.
After the call, follow up with a polite thank-you email that reinforces your interest and professionalism.
