"To begin, test your equipment: internet connection, webcam, and microphone. Familiarize yourself with the software platform: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc. A shotgun microphone can be a good choice for a virtual remote camera interview. It picks up sound from a specific direction with minimal background noise. 7 Make sure the background is not distracting and that bright lighting is in front but not behind you."
"Sit slightly forward about two feet from looking into the camera lens light. 2,4,6,12,14 Have your chin slightly raised steadily into the top third of the screen while looking at the camera light until you are told the remote camera video interview is finished. 1,3,11 Look down to break eye contact to infer you are thinking. About 80 percent of the time, eye contact should be at the camera, and about 20 percent, it should be looking at the other person's facial feedback."
Virtual remote camera interviews are increasingly common and benefit from deliberate preparation. Test internet connection, webcam, and microphone and become familiar with the chosen software platform. Use a shotgun microphone to capture directional sound, position bright lighting in front, and ensure a non-distracting background. Eliminate noise distractions from phones, TVs, open apps, outside sounds, and other people. Keep brief keyword notes flat on the surface, speak conversationally with varied tone, and use well-timed pauses. Sit slightly forward, raise the chin into the top third of the screen, maintain about 80% camera eye contact, and use more exuberant facial and vocal expressions than in person. Dress as expected for an in-person interview.
