00:00Job interviews are always nerve-wracking. Due to the pandemic, video interviews became more popular and these come with their own set of challenges.
00:12According to CNBC, a lot of background noise and interruptions can come across like you didn't care enough about the interview to find a quiet place.
00:21These can also make hiring managers think that you'll be very distracted while doing your job.
00:27Showing up late to any interview is a no-no, but showing up late to a video interview is worse because you don't even have to leave your house.
00:35Tech issues can happen, however, so log into your meeting 15 to 30 minutes prior to check your connection.
00:42You might even benefit from checking the app a day before in case there's an update that needs to be installed.
00:48The Muse recommends you also set up your shot well and that you practice your video interview skills before with a friend through a mock interview to get over the nerves.
