5 Tips to ace an interview over the webcam

I do job interviews with Junior/Senior developers and sometimes I'm amazed at what I see or hear.

Here are some tips that could help you to land your dream job!

1) Find a pleasant background. Think about the other persons, they will have to look at it for at least 30 minutes. Don't sit in your bad. Don't do it in a place with a lot of people who are talking in the background.

2) Wear something appropriate. I have seen people doing their interview in an old dirty white T-shirt. You don't have to dress up as you would go to your own wedding. Wear something you like and feel good in.

3) Take a look at the website of the company. The change that the interviewer will ask you the following question is almost written in stone. "Do you know what we are doing?" or any question like that. If you don't understand what the company is doing its okay. Tell that, so the company can improve their website.

4) Prepare some questions that you can ask. Usually, I ask several times in the interview "Do you have any questions?". For me, it's a good sign if the interviewee has some questions. So I know he is listening and it also shows that the interviewee has some deeper knowledge.

5) Be honest. Really be honest as much as you can! If you don't understand something or don't know something, it is totally okay! Nobody is perfect and nobody can know everything.
