As hiring becomes global and more employees/ trainees work remotely, video interviews have become commonplace. For hiring managers and recruiters, they are a way to quickly conduct first round interviews, save on transportation costs, and get the interview process started much faster than scheduling in-person interviews.

Alison Doyle holds the opinion that the key to a brilliant video interview is to practice beforehand, so that you avoid technology problems and feel confident with the process (Successful Video Interview).

A video interview carries as much weight as an interview conducted in-person, so you are well prepared to interview remotely.

For an interview in the company office, you arrive early, so you have time to get situated. You ask for assistance if you are not sure how to use the equipment.
