Get the 411 on Acing Your Virtual Interviews

3/25/2018

 
Do you remember this hilarious scene from the 2013 movie The Internship where actors Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson sit in the children's section of a library and participate in a video interview to land internships at Google? No matter how many times I watch the clip, it still makes me laugh.
​(Be patient. It takes a minute for the video to load onto the screen.)
​Employers have raised the bar for telephone and video interviews. Are you prepared to answer questions regarding whether or not you are the right fit for the job and the employer's corporate culture?
 
700 employers were surveyed about the use of video in the recruiting process:
  • 71% reported using real-time video interviewing, and
  • 51% admitted they use video interviews to narrow the candidate pool.*

Does talking on the phone or being in front of a camera make you nervous? We can help.
Email info@writtenbyapro.com with the subject line "Virtual Interview Guide" in the subject line.
We'll send you a free 12-page report with tips for acing your virtual interviews and a shopping list for high quality, low cost audio/video equipment to help you make a great first impression!
