Interview Skills Worksheet: Dress and Online Interviews
Tip (Neat, early, ready): Dress: clean and ironed, simple, neat hair and nails; avoid torn jeans, slogan T-shirts, flip-flops and heavy perfume. Not sure? Dress a little more formal. Punctuality: leaving time = start time − journey − early minutes. Interview at 10:30 AM, a 40-minute journey, 15 minutes early → leave by 9:35 AM. Running late? Call and inform them at once. Online: camera at eye level, light in front, plain background, quiet room, mute when others speak, test mic and camera first, join 5 minutes early, look at the camera.
