Whether your interview is in-person or virtual, body language plays a role in helping you move to the next round of interviews.
Maintaining eye contact is important, especially in a virtual interview. It projects confidence and is also a sign of respect. To ensure that you’re making eye contact during a video call, place your laptop or webcam close to eye level. This way, when you’re looking at the hiring manager on the screen it won’t seem like you’re looking down. You can buy a laptop stand to raise your computer or just use a stack of books, either works fine.
When you’re answering the hiring manager’s questions, look directly into the camera. This will make it feel like you’re speaking directly to them, and maintain the same type of eye contact you would if you were doing an in-person interview. It’s okay to glance down at your screen to check the hiring manager’s reactions, but be sure to look back up at the camera after that quick glance.
For in-person interviews, look directly at the hiring manager both when you’re speaking and when they’re speaking. This shows that you’re paying attention and aren’t distracted by anything else in the room. Don’t look at the clock, your watch, or your phone, and don’t spend time staring at things on the hiring manager’s desk, no matter how interesting they are.
