Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has led companies like Twilio to pivot to virtual interviewing and remote hiring, requiring job seekers to adapt to this new reality. To excel in virtual interviews, candidates must set up a practical video conference setup, dress professionally, and minimize distractions. They should also prepare by researching the company and role, practicing with a friend or family member, and tailoring their questions to ask specific about the position. Additionally, maintaining eye contact, speaking at a comfortable volume, and showcasing one's personality are crucial in virtual interviews. After the interview, candidates should send a thank you note and follow up with their recruiter to re-express interest in the role. With preparation and opportunity meeting success, virtual interviews require a combination of technical skills and interpersonal abilities.
