As businesses rely increasingly on video interviewing, it might feel like a new, daunting challenge during the job search. But the video interview doesn't have to be difficult. With a few quick tricks and tips, you can avoid the most common mistakes made during this stage.  

3 Tips For Handling Your Video Interview

We've all experienced tech problems, awkward audio, and other hitches during video calls. At our job agency, we understand you may be worried about those things happening during your interview. Here's what our experts in Champaign recommend: 

• Keep sound in mind.  You'll want to find an interview spot that's quiet, with minimal outside distraction. If you're pressed for space, it might be tempting to go outdoors-but your mic is likely to magnify ambient sound like traffic, birds, or wind. Sometimes libraries have free room rentals which you can take advantage of. Don't forget to test your microphone and your headphones in advance! 
• Keep video in mind.  Wear clothes that won't cause distortion from your webcam. This means minimal stripes or busy patterns, and avoid solid white or black. Test out your video setup in advance. Are you well-lit, or is your video grainy? Is your background cluttered and messy, or tidy and neutral?  
• Stay professional and alert.  It's hard to adjust your body language to video. Practice in advance. How's your posture? You'll want to keep your eye contact on your webcam, and otherwise stay engaged when someone else is talking. It's always worth running through this with a friend who can provide honest feedback.
