00:03 Job interviews are always nerve-wracking.
00:05 Due to the pandemic, video interviews became more popular
00:09 and these come with their own set of challenges.
00:12 According to CNBC, a lot of background noise and interruptions
00:16 can come across like you didn't care enough about the interview
00:19 to find a quiet place.
00:21 These can also make hiring managers think that you'll be very distracted
00:25 while doing your job.
00:27 Showing up late to any interview is a no-no,
00:29 but showing up late to a video interview is worse
00:32 because you don't even have to leave your house.
00:34 Tech issues can happen, however,
00:37 so log into your meeting 15 to 30 minutes prior to check your connection.
00:42 You might even benefit from checking the app a day before
00:45 in case there's an update that needs to be installed.
00:48 The Muse recommends you also set up your shot well
00:51 and that you practice your video interview skills before with a friend
00:55 through a mock interview to get over the nerves.
