Naturally dress professionally, wearing minimal jewelry and cologne/perfume.

Bring a copy of your resume - they should already have copies.

Bring a notepad with questions you want to ask and several of your accomplishments listed - this way you won't forget anything and essentially you have a cheat sheet - in the excitement of an interview you may draw a blank or forget what great things you've done or the amazing questions you were going to ask.

Arrive 30 minutes early and be in their office, checking in, 15 minutes early (not any earlier than 15 minutes otherwise it throws their schedule off).

Being early to an interview makes such a difference, great first impression and helps you feel in control. Conversely, being late is a kiss of death for an interview.

Great the receptionist warmly and professionally.

If there is more than one interviewer: Greet everyone who is in the room and continually shift eye contact and who you are addressing (sometimes there is a shy interviewer and having your attention on them will make them feel valued). Human nature is to focus on one person, usually the person that makes you feel most comfortable. Try to include everyone!

Do not to interrupt - instead write down questions you want to ask later.

It is ok, and perfectly normal to be nervous in an interview - if you find your nerves are getting the better of you and you ramble or repeat yourself or fidget or show any number of nervous pitfalls, stop yourself and tell them you are nervous. Better they understand you are nervous than a habitual rambler.

After all questions have been asked, there are two last questions for you to ask: 1) Is there anything about my background or experience that is giving you concern? (this will allow you to clarify something they may have misunderstood and/or allow you to explain your transferrable skills); 2) What are the next steps?

At the end as you are saying your goodbyes - if you want the job TELL THEM YOU WANT THE JOB. If you are unsure or really do not want the job, a simple "thank you for your time" or "this was very interesting" works great.

GOOD LUCK!

Naturally, dress professionally, wear minimal jewelry.‍

PAY ATTENTION WHERE YOUR CAMERA IS POINTED - the best angle is a direct line to your eyes, where your head and shoulders take up the majority of the screen.  You don't want to be towering above them or looking up at them.

Be sure your background looks professional or blur your background - even though this is your personal space, they are expecting to see a professional setting.

At least an hour before your interview, test your connection to the video app hosting the meeting, double checking the app opens, as well as your mic, camera and speakers work.

Have a copy of your resume in front of you.

Have a notepad with questions you want to ask as well as a list of your accomplishments/strengths. It's natural to draw a blank and you will essentially have a cheat sheet for yourself.

Be ready 10 minutes early and join 5 minutes early, just in case there are some last-minute technical issues.

Being early makes a great first impression and helps you feel in control and less nervous.

Great your interviewer(s) warmly and professionally - greet EVERYONE on the call.

If more than one interviewer, address the person you are talking to by their name and be sure to include everyone. Sometimes there is a shy interviewer and you asking them specifically if they have any questions will make them feel valued.

Try not to interrupt - instead write your questions down to ask later.

It is ok, and perfectly normal, to get nervous in an interview. If you find you are exhibiting nervous behaviors like rambling, repeating yourself or drawing a blank explain to the interviewer9s) that you are nervous. Better they think you are nervous than to think you are a habitual rambler.

At the end after all questions have been asked, you will want to ask two more questions: 1) Is there anything about my background or experience that gives you concern? (This allows you to address concerns head on and show your transferable skills you could use instead.) 2) What are next steps?

‍In closing, if you want them job - TELL THEM YOU WANT THE JOB! If you do not want the job, a simple "thank you" or "this was very interesting" as a closing remark is perfect.
