Interview Tips

Interviews are a chance to assess fit on both sides. They’re not about having perfect answers. They’re about communicating clearly, showing how you think, and understanding whether the role and team are right for you.


Preparation makes the process far less stressful. These tips will help you show up focused and professional in both virtual and in-person interviews.

Virtual Interviews

Remote interviews are now a standard part of hiring. A few small details can make a big difference.

  1. Test your setup in advance.
    Check your internet connection, camera, microphone, and platform ahead of time. Logging in early helps you avoid unnecessary stress.
  2. Choose a quiet, professional space.
    Find a location without interruptions. Use a clean background and good lighting. Natural light works best when possible.
  3. Dress the part.
    Dress as you would for an in-person interview. Professional, simple, and aligned with the company’s culture.
  4. Stay present on camera.
    Look at the camera when speaking, sit upright, and avoid multitasking. Clear body language shows focus and confidence.
  5. Keep materials nearby.
    Have your resume, role details, and a few notes available for reference. Use them sparingly so the conversation feels natural.
  6. Follow up thoughtfully.
    Send a brief thank-you email within 24 hours. Reiterate interest and reference something specific from the conversation.

In-Person Interviews

In-person interviews add another layer of connection and first impressions.

  1. Arrive early.
    Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time. It gives you space to settle in and start the conversation calmly.
  2. Make a strong first impression.
    Greet everyone professionally. A smile, eye contact, and confidence go a long way.
  3. Bring what you need.
    Have copies of your resume and any relevant materials. A notebook and pen are helpful for notes and questions.
  4. Answer with clarity and examples.
    Listen carefully. Be concise. Use real examples to explain how you’ve handled challenges and delivered results.
  5. Ask meaningful questions.
    Good questions show preparation and interest. Ask about the team, priorities, and what success looks like in the role.
  6. Close with appreciation.
    Thank the interviewer for their time, express continued interest, and ask about next steps.

Whether virtual or in person, interviews work best when you approach them as a conversation, not a test. Preparation helps you stay grounded, communicate clearly, and decide if the opportunity truly fits your goals.
