A regular interview is nerve-wracking enough. Especially when you want that job more than anything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But wait for it\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

A video conference interview you\u2019re attending remotely is actually less distressing because you can prepare for things to go the way you want them to\u2014so you can place yourself in the best light possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are exactly 8 video conference interview tips you need to know. To nail your next remote interview, I\u2019ve reached out to other HR and recruitment professionals who will tell you what their expectations are and what hacks they love.<\/b><\/p>\n

Smile more than you may usually do, maintain eye contact, and make that person feel like you\u2019re there to speak to them. Most importantly, don\u2019t get distracted by your own picture.\u201d – Aimee Bateman, CEO at <\/span>Careercake<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
