In the middle of the digital age, it is not surprising that companies are increasingly investing in solutions that optimize the recruitment and selection processes of professionals.

While some use people analytics software, others are already conducting the digital interview process.

In this article, you will find out why this method is becoming increasingly popular, the benefits for you and the company and how you can be successful in this type of interview.

How To Succeed In The Digital Interview

Carrying out a selection process in the comfort of the home or in any other place where you feel more comfortable, can cause the candidate to have an exaggerated informal posture - and end up harming himself because of that.

1-Prepare Your Speech

Your digital interview should be organized in a three-part structure:

• Introduction.
• Development.
• Conclusion.

The introduction needs to be striking, to show the recruiter who you are. Speak in a firm and convincing manner your name, your age and the area in which you work.

The development of the digital interview will be marked by the topics that the company requested to be addressed, such as professional experience and career achievements.

Therefore, it is essential that you organize this information into a list - avoiding forgetting one or the other.

Since the interview is videotaped, it is important that you maintain eye contact with the camera lens. To avoid distractions, fix the list with the main information and the order of presentation of each one behind this equipment.

A small card can also be kept in your hand, making consultation quick.

While talking about the organization of your speech, know the right time to stop and finish the video.

Take advantage of important information to create the necessary hook for the end of the digital interview, reinforcing its highlights. Say goodbye and wait a few seconds before lifting and turning off the camera.

Don't forget to do a lot of research on the company in question and carefully read the job description.

2.Train Your Speech In Advance

After the preparation step, you must train the speech. To feel more comfortable, write your lines on cards and read them out loud. Try using your smartphone's voice recorder to hear yourself talking and to identify.

It is very important that all words are pronounced correctly to avoid misinterpretation by those who will be watching the video. Practice your speech in front of the mirror or record it with your cell phone camera.

Another person can also monitor your training, pointing out the parts you did not understand. The more you train, the more confident you will feel on camera when recording.

3.Maintain Posture And Firmness In Your Eyes

The way your body acts conveys unconscious messages which can sometimes be undesirable. Greet the viewer of your video with a slight smile.

It is a very powerful weapon for creating an immediate personal bond. Keep your spine straight don't cross your arms.

You can rest them on your legs or place one hand on top of the other. Habits, like biting your nails, scratching your nose, touching your ear or running a hand through your hair, should also be avoided. Remember television journalists and adopt a similar stance, always with a firm eye.

Slang and sudden movements should also be avoided. As much as the company has a more informal stance, you need to convey professionalism in the video.
