Partner will provide details on the assessment process for your
applied role, confirming whether it involves more than just
interviews, such as technical tests or cognitive ability assessments.
If you have any questions or need additional support, feel free to

professionalism, ensuring it is suitable for an interview setting.

6 TIPS FOR MASTERING YOUR INTERVIEW VIRTUALLY
Given that virtual interviews are much more common at present, we wanted to share some top tips with you on
how to make the most significant impact virtually.
Test Your Technology
Upon confirming a virtual interview, promptly assess your technology setup to guarantee a seamless experience.
Verify your internet connectivity, install any required video applications, and confirm the functionality of your
camera and microphone. Our team will check with you an hour before the schedule interview
Set the Scene and Minimize Distractions
Ensure you have optimal lighting and minimize background noise, taking your interview in a private room if
possible.
Be Prepared
Ensure you're well-prepared with a notebook and pen for notes, along with a list of questions you'd like to ask.
Familiarizing yourself with the background of your interviewer in advance can provide valuable insights and help
establish connections during the interview.
Practice, Don’t Memorize
It’s essential to keep things simple. Don’t feel you must give a long-winded answer if the question doesn’t
warrant it. Being clear and concise is one of the most essential things in a job interview.
6 TIPS FOR MASTERINGYOU INTERVIEW VIRTUALLY
Be Yourself
A crucial responsibility for the Techblocks team is assessing your fit within the company's culture. This becomes
more challenging in virtual interviews due to the physical disconnect. Expressing enthusiasm is key, as it can be
more difficult for the interviewer to gauge through a screen.
Should you need any extra support for your virtual interview or when attending an in-person interview at an
Techblocks office, we are more than willing to accommodate any requirements you may have.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!
Your commitment to interview with us is truly valued. Regardless of the outcome, our goal is for you to depart
from your interactions with the team not just informed, but energized and even more thrilled about the
possibility of joining Techblocks. We eagerly await your feedback on how the interview unfolded.
