Nail Your Next Virtual Interview: Pro Tips for Looking (and Sounding) Awesome


Hey rockstar! 👋

Virtual interviews can be nerve-wracking, but what if I told you that you could look and sound like a total professional with just a few simple tweaks? 🌟

Your Virtual Interview Survival Guide

Lighting: Your Secret Weapon

Face natural light (hello, window!) and avoid overhead lighting. Quick hack? Hold your camera and walk around to find your perfect lighting sweet spot. When you have good light it's easy to look bright, clear, and confident! 💡

Audio Quality Matters

Built-in laptop mics aren't the best for interviews. We recommend finding or investing in:

  • An external USB microphone like the Shure MV6
  • Some wired headphones that have a mic built-in
  • Soft surfaces in your studio to reduce room noise (you could put a towel on your desk to help, for example)_

And remember, when you are using microphones in Ecamm, try and keep your audio levels in the green zone!

Framing and Presence

🎯 Camera at eye level (stack those books!)
🤝 Look directly into the camera
🧘‍♀️ Keep your background clean and neutral

Conversation, Not Performance

Remember: This is a chat, not a speech. Bring energy, smile, ask questions, and be yourself!

Bonus Pro Tip:

Practice with a friend before the big day. They can give you honest feedback and boost your confidence!
