[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 30062, member: 1160"] Some more tips from this week and food for thought: 1. Interviewers can only assess the things you do say. Whilst you might not always know an answer, try to offer your thoughts so as to give the interviewer the opportunity to gauge your thought process. They are not looking for experts but for potential! Just try to take a moment to think and structure your thoughts and try to offer these as clearly as you can :) 2. Building a rapport in a virtual setting can be harder - you do not have the usual icebreakers of people asking you for water or walking down the corridor to an interview room. Try to be prompt for the interviews so you might be able to have a couple of minutes at the start to make conversation and build a rapport. Try to remember to smile and say hello and introduce yourself - sometimes we don't do this as we know our names are visible, but this is really effective and is a really memorable thing to do! Setting yourself up well at the start and making that first introductory 'hello' will hopefully help to ease your nerves a little too. [/QUOTE]
