It might not be as stressful and as pressuring as an interview for a 9-to-5 job, but landing an online gig isn’t a walk in the park, either. With that in mind, here are a few tips on how to make sure you nail that work-at-home job interview.
The Holy Trinity
As it is with most things in life, being prepared is usually half the battle. This also applies for acing a job interview, regardless of the type of work it involves.
But since we’re talking about online jobs, here are a few things that will help you be prepared for everything coming your way.
First off, be ready and on time. Every employer values promptness and punctuality, as well as the candidate’s ability to respond to new and sudden requests.
In other words – be on the phone or on Skype on time, dress accordingly if it’s a video call, and don’t be surprised if the time table changes.
Next up is knowing the company and the job. Being acquainted with your potential employer and the job you’ve applied to will give you quite an edge not only during the interview, but also as soon as you start working.
Last, but not least, is being yourself. Job interview can really be heavy on the nerves, so make sure you’re relax, open-minded, and able to mention all the skills and experience your employer might find useful or impressive.
