Your Map To Success:
Virtual Interviewing
Join URISA Texas & SWIGGIS Austin for Your Map To Success: Virtual Interviewing, a discussion of how to navigate the virtual interview. Come to get your questions answered!
Panel Discussion Outline:
Due to the sudden need to bring many positions online, virtual interviews has become a necessity when traditional interviews cannot take place face-to-face. For some, virtual interviewing has been a part of their job searching process already, for others it is their first time navigating the technology and dynamics. Virtual interviewing or video interviewing uses technology like video conferencing and other online communication platforms. Virtual interviews are often conducted much the same way as face-to-face interviews although there are special considerations and adjustments due to the limited ability to read body language and facial expressions. Here's how you can increase the likelihood that an employer asks you to come in for round two of an interview.
In this panel discussion, we will cover topics valuable for both interviewees and interviewers. You will learn tips for your virtual interview -- which includes the process so you know what to generally expect including how teams are integrated into the process, how to prepare by having a technology plan, how to convey your best self virtually, being a self advocate and behavioral best practices so you may be better prepared for your next virtual interview. Interviewers will also learn about how to be mindful of reaching a more diverse, global group of candidates during the hiring process to find the right candidate.
