Interview Prep Checklist

Preparation Checklist for Phone AND Video Job Interviews

• Pick a quiet spot to have the interview, and remove any distractions.

• Turn off your computer, put away random objects on your desk, put the dog in the other room, and shut the door so your kids don’t walk in.

• Gather your necessary documents. The only things you need are a copy of the job description, your resume, a list of talking points for common interview questions, a list of important info about the company and your interviewer, and your phone or computer.

• Always test your technology ahead of time, especially for video interviews.

• Make sure you’re sitting in a place with reliable phone reception, or use a landline if you’ve got one.

• Test your Internet connection for a video interview, and if possible, do a few test runs with the video software you’re going to use, such as Skype or Teams.

• Turn off the notifications, alerts, and sounds that might pop up on your phone or computer.

• Teach yourself to be comfortable with pauses and silence. When you’ve said enough, stop talking and give them a chance to chime in.

  
  

Preparation Checklist for PHONE Interviews

• Ask a friend or family member to help you test your phone connection and audio quality.

• Even though the interviewer can’t see you, make sure you smile! It will make you sound more friendly and positive.

• Have a pen and paper on hand to take notes.

• Write down important names, phone numbers, email addresses, or facts about the job or people you’d be working with.

• Don’t use a keyboard to type notes because the clicking of the keys is distracting over the phone.

  
  

Preparation Checklist for VIDEO Interviews

• Before the interview, try to eliminate any technical difficulties that might pop up.

• Get familiar with the video software beforehand and optimize your computer, camera, and microphone for the interview.

• Ask a friend or family member to help you test your technology.

• Choose the best space for your video interview. You’ll want a room with a lot of light so you show up clearly on the video.

• Make sure the area that will be seen in your computer’s camera is clutter-free and clean. Try to find a neutral backdrop like a blank wall or one with a nice painting in the background.

• Sitting up straight helps you breathe easier and looks better on camera.

• Look at the camera as much as possible, more so than the screen. To the interviewer, it’ll look like you’re making eye contact.

Good luck and cheers for your success!
