Automationtechies Tip:
Performing a dry run with a friend or family member is critical! This will highlight potential issues. You can make sure your equipment and software are up-to-date and performing optimally. We also suggest you rehearse your video call at the same time of day that your online interview is scheduled. If it is scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m., run your test on Monday at 4 p.m. This allows you to check for sufficient lighting and for unexpected interference. Shortly before your interview, quickly check again that everything is in working order. Good luck!
