I have a virtual interview coming up soon. Besides working computer/phone and keep the outside noise down (I don't have roommates, the dogs my neighbors have barks a lot). What other tips do y'all have? This will be my first one.
Thanks

Do your best to look at the camera instead of the screen. I personally like to move my own image to right under the camera (we have a tendency to look at ourselves on screens).
Dress as if it's an in-person interview. Please wear pants!
Make sure your background is bright, but not too distracting—I strongly recommend having a lamp / desklight!
Bring energy and enthusiasm. Everyone knows how tough it is to be staring at a screen when meeting someone. I think it's great to smile and be genuinely engaged though, it goes so far!
Others told me when speaking, looking into the camera; when listening, it's better to look at screen. Sometimes staring at camera maks me feel uneasy since I cannot capture the interviewers' facial expression.
This is overthinking it I believe. Having interviewed many people via computer, it makes no difference to me where they look - honestly I can barely even tell if they are looking at the screen or the camera. What would make it obvious however is if they are switching between looking at the screen and the camera. Do whichever is most comfortable for you. When I interview, I look at candidates' jaw lines and mouths (for quivers that show extreme nervousness nervousness). I also look at their shoulder and upper arm movement to see if they are fidgeting under the table. Just remember to be confident, thats what sells.
Thanks!
