COVID-19 has ushered in a new era of online connection and communication. Interviews are now often conducted completely remote for the safety and convenience of both interviewers and interviewees, and this change does not seem to be going away anytime soon. Are you unsure how to excel in a virtual interview? Three new hires of a newly-aligned library services department within a large healthcare system are here to help. Panelists will share their virtual and phone interview tips and tricks to give you the edge during a virtual interview process. Based on the panelists’ own interview experiences and further research, attendees will learn strategies and gain key takeaways for their next remote job interview. Tips range from more traditional advice like checking your software ahead of time to more unconventional concepts such as how the use of color, in more ways than just your attire, may positively affect your interview. The creation of an ideal remote interview environment and how COVID-19 concerns have changed the interview process will also be discussed. The moderator for this discussion will be filled by the hiring manager of the organization.
