Be sure to check out career openings at Beyondsoft<\/a>, with our latest opportunities listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Download and test the tech in advance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These days, there are plenty of virtual meeting options available, often requiring a download. Make sure the program is working properly on your device well in advance of your interview. Test your speakers, microphone, and camera. Locate controls such as volume, mute, chat, and screen sharing to ensure you look like a pro. And don\u2019t forget to practice sharing content on your screen to impress your interviewer with work samples.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dress to impress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While some interviewers may forego the camera, chances are you\u2019ll be on screen and you\u2019ll want to put your best foot forward. Wear the same attire as you would during an in-person interview.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Choose your backdrop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that the space behind you is tidy to ensure that the interviewer focuses on you and not, say, the dirty dishes on your counter. Ensure that your space is well lit\u2014<\/a>you can always bring in a lamp. Do a dry run with your laptop\u2019s camera\u2014you might be surprised at the items in your background that can look distracting.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Limit distractions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of distractions, whether you have a dog or children or noisy neighbors, find ways to minimize sounds and interruptions. Silence your cell phone, turn off IM alerts, close the blinds\u2014do whatever you need to ensure a distraction-free experience. Consider using noise-cancelling headphones. This helps you as well as your interviewer to stay focused on the interview and not your dog chewing on a squeaky toy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Get set up early<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Get ready 30 minutes in advance. Close down emails and internet browsers. Pull up any files you want to have handy. And make sure your computer is up to date. There\u2019s nothing more frustrating than when an unforeseen update puts an abrupt end to your call. Sharing your screen? Make sure your background image is appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
