Tips For Conducting an Online Interview 

Many organizations use video conferencing systems to screen candidates during the recruitment process. It is now becoming commonplace to see them also used throughout the recruitment lifecycle from screening to interviewing, assessing, and even onboarding. 

When done well, online interviewing saves money on travel and can be much more convenient for the recruiter and the candidate than traditional face to face meetings. 

Here are some tips for how to prepare for and conduct a successful online interview. 

1. Prepare yourself 

Reading the candidates CV and using the skills and competencies you’re looking for to design specific questions that explore each one are the most fundamental steps. Consider whether including a case study or open-ended question for them to prepare before the interview helps you better understand the candidate. 

Plan the interview's flow and timing and ensure you consider any time zone differences. Make sure that you also arrange any technical support you might need. 

Communicate expectations to the candidate ahead of the interview to give them adequate planning time and check that they understand how to connect to your meeting. Communicate the same to others involved in the interview and ensure that those who need to give feedback know how to collate and submit their input. 

If you plan to give a presentation, it is good practice to record a trial and review your body language. 

2. Check the technology and environment 

Check the equipment such as the video camera, microphone, and any specific software or features such as screen sharing that you are planning to use. 

Ensure that your screen is at the correct height for your face to be visible and that the lighting in the room does not cast shadows across the screen or create glare. 

The background you choose should be professional and not be a distraction to the candidate. 

3. Present your employer brand and communicate professionally 

Before beginning the interview, you should re-direct any calls and switch off your mobile phone. 

Even though the candidate may only see the top half of your body, you should dress as though you are at the office. Dressing professionally not only projects your company brand but also psychologically impacts how you feel. 

When conducting an online interview, you need to demonstrate positive body language, maintain eye contact and smile. It is tempting to look at the screen, but it projects a more professional image and aids in creating a connection with the candidate if you look directly at the camera. 

As communication can be restricted by the layer of technology between you and the candidate, you need to take care of your volume, tone, and speech clarity. Showing the candidate that you are actively listening sets them at ease and enables you to develop a positive relationship. 

4. Close the interview effectively with next steps 

To close the interview, you should explain the next steps; when candidates know what to expect, they feel respected and valued. 

Following the above process will help you feel more confident during the online interview and increase the opportunity of finding the right person for your vacancy.

This is a bloody incredible series, and it hits even harder now that we've experienced a full blown pandemic. It's takes place in a world where we won a zombie apocalypse, but I describe it as: "It's about zombies the same way Animal Farm is about pigs."

Seanan McGuire AKA Mira Grant gives an overview of the series in this fantastic interview (from 2012):

The basic concept behind the Newsflesh trilogy is that in 2014 the Zombie Apocalypse happened, and it took us about three years, but around 2017, 2018, we actually managed to win. A lot of people died, a lot of land was permanently ceded, but we came out on top. So 20 years pass, and you have an entire generation of people that’s grown up in a world where zombies just are. They’re not something special. They’re not something exciting. They just are. And people go on, people do what they do.

It also includes gems like:

I would call [the CDC] back and say, “If I did this, this, this, this, this and this, could I raise the dead?” And every single time they would say, “No.” And I’d say, “OK,” hang up, and go back to working. After about the 17th time, I called and said, “If I did this, this, this, this, this, this and this, could I raise the dead?” And got, “Don’t … don’t do that.” And at that point, I knew I had a viable virus.

Genuinely trying to figure out if Daniel's conversation with Justin Kirk is taking place outside the penthouse (meaning Daniel is, at some point, able to escape without getting vamp'ed) -- or if this is in the penthouse and Justin Kirk is someone Louis/Armand would allow to visit.

It might be the former (it looks like there's two other people in the background, who don't look like Armand/Louis) -- but him saying "I want to get out alive" feels odd if he's already made it out. If it's the latter, that raises the question of who, exactly, would be allowed in to talk to Daniel, because I have THEORIES.
