1. Hardware equipment failure.
Before the interview, you must first check whether your video hardware equipment can operate normally and debug it to the best condition. You should also choose a relatively quiet environment. Again, be sure to ensure the smoothness and speed of the video call during the online interview. If adverse phenomena such as freezing and loud noise occur, it will affect the interview effect.
2. Don’t know the company beforehand.
If you’ve ever been tripped up by the question, “What do you know about our company?” you know the importance of doing your research. You should browse recent company news in advance, become familiar with the company culture, mission, departments, etc., take notes before the interview, and be fully prepared.
3. Inappropriate image.
First impression is very important. If your appearance is not good, you will be deducted a lot. Dress appropriately for the interview. It is best to choose professional formal attire. Hair style should be clean and tidy. Try not to dye your hair. Look your best and make a great first impression.
4. His eyes are wandering and he dare not look directly at the interviewer.
Random glances and lack of eye contact with the examiner will make the examiner think you are not reliable enough and do not believe your answers. Make eye contact and look at the examiner with a smile. You can usually find and correct your problems by practicing in front of a mirror, looking at each other with a friend, or repeatedly recording a video.
5. Ask about salary right from the start
It’s tempting to ask about salary, but don’t ask it at the beginning of the interview. This will leave the interviewer with the impression that he only cares about what he can get, rather than asking what he can bring to the company.
6. Overly nervous and not confident.
Many people show their nervousness and lack of confidence on their faces, which manifests as nervousness, sweating, speaking upside down, stiff movements, inadvertently pulling at the corners of clothes or fiddling with buttons, fiddling with hair, frequently looking at watches, etc. The examiner will mistakenly think you are immature and impetuous. During the interview, try to speak naturally, clearly, coherently, fluently, and politely to ensure that the most accurate information is conveyed to the other party.
7. Language expression issues.
Your voice is too low, your answers are laggy, your language is not fluent, etc., which will directly affect the examiner's impression of you. Even with great answers, it's hard to get high marks. It is recommended to slow down and grasp the rhythm of expression. Key points in your answers can enhance your tone and attract the examiner's attention.
8. Lack of logic in expression
When answering questions, the thinking is unclear, the order is unclear, the logic is lacking, the word order is chaotic, and the key points cannot be emphasized, making the examiner unable to understand the key points and confused. It is recommended that before answering the questions, you should classify the answers by priority or order, and use the total score method to answer. This can be stated point by point if necessary.
