The Virtual Interview

September 2020

In a virtual interview, you should dress the same as you would in a face-to-face interview. When an interview takes place from a remote location like your home, you should expect it to be just as formal as one that takes place in an office.  If you're unsure, business casual is a good standard to follow.  Have a copy of your resume with you for a point of reference and a pad and pen to take notes.  It is also important to have the right backdrop behind you.  Find a nice corner or wall in your house - and make it look as professional as possible.
