How to use a webcam for video interviewing
Here’s the story: you have just received an invitation to complete a video interview through Interview On Demand. The interview is for a position that you are very interested in getting, and since you got the invitation, you know that the company must have been pretty interested in your resume. This video is your next best shot at getting through the doors for a face-to-face interview (where, of course, you’ll knock their socks off).
Chances are, you’ll complete your interview in the privacy of your own home (at the best time for you, thanks to the convenience of video interviewing) through a webcam attached to your computer. Here’s where you might get tripped up a little. Not only do you have to be well-dressed and have answers to various questons ready for a smooth delivery, you have to think about your setting—lighting, background, angles. Not to worry, Interview On Demand is here to help.
