• Phone Interview Ready: Read your resume and make notes. Be prepared to answer any questions that may come up. When possible, research the interviewer and his/her connections on LinkedIn and social media. Be familiar with the company website and craft some questions for the interviewer. 

• Prepare for Your Video Interview: Do a practice run to learn the platform well before the interview. Check to make sure your lighting is good and your environment is clean and neat. Don't forget to make sure your outfit is professional and on point.

• During Your Interview: To make a positive impact, never speak negatively of a former employer or colleague. Brush up on your non-verbal cues - look interviewer in the eye, sit upright, look interested, and don't forget to smile. Speak with energy and be able to provide data and details noted in your resume.

• After Your Interview: Make following up after an interview a habit. Send a handwritten note or email restating your interest to work for the company. Address any follow up items that were mentioned during the interview
