Employers these days are turning to virtual interviews to avoid the health risks of face-to-face interviews during COVID-19 pandemic
To prepare for virtual interviews you can practice with Big Interview, a resource offered through our partners at PA CareerLink®. In addition to offering video lessons on all aspects of interviewing, you have the opportunity to record yourself participating in a mock interview with the assistance of a webcam. This gives you the chance to review your own performance in interviews and improve your virtual interviewing skills.
