But what is the secret to conquering employers to find the desired job from this online recruitment method?

Check your equipment in advance. Whether this is your first time or you have interviewed online before, make sure you thoroughly check your equipment and software before your appointment to avoid unfortunate technical problems that could affect the quality of your interview.

You may want to try calling a friend first to check that your microphone and speakers are working properly, as well as your internet connection. Make sure your name and photo are clearly visible.

A "clean" interview space. That is, you should not sit anywhere during the interview, because the surrounding space has a significant impact on your psychology as well as your ability to concentrate during the presentation and listening process to the employer. It must be a "clean" space in terms of both image and sound.

If possible, sit in front of a bookshelf or a wall to highlight yourself and avoid distracting the recruiter from other people in the frame. Also, remember to use headphones to focus better instead of using the speaker directly.

Take notes and reference. Keep a notebook and pen next to your computer so you can take notes during the interview. If you have questions to discuss, don't forget to write down keywords and phrases as you listen to the interviewer.

Only write down the basic and necessary points in the interview. Don't be so engrossed in taking notes that you forget, or the recruiter will lose the flow of the interview. Recording audio combined with notes and videos will help you gain experience for the next interview round.

Respond and listen actively. To attract and impress employers, responding and listening skills are extremely important. Prepare common questions in advance and always be ready to answer them.

When listening, don’t just stare at the screen, use expressions or give quick feedback to create interaction between the two parties. Nodding, smiling or taking a sip of water while listening will make you feel more comfortable during the online interview.

Send a post-interview email. Send a thank-you email to the interviewer immediately after the interview. Take the opportunity to briefly mention what excited or desired you most about the job opportunity after the interview.

If the employer asks you to provide additional documents or information about your professional background, prepare them quickly and send them immediately after the interview and avoid leaving them for another day. This email also shows that you are interested and serious about the job position, has the opportunity to impress and easily gain points with the employer.
