With virtual interviews here to stay, it’s important to prepare differently than you would for a typical in-person interview.
The Covid-19 pandemic forced many companies to adopt virtual interviewing. According to a survey from Indeed, 82% of employers used virtual interviewing technology. And it turns out, both companies and candidates like it. The same survey revealed that 93% of companies plan to continue using virtual interview technology in the future. At MarketStar, 100% of our interviews are conducted virtually. Here I’ve listed my top 7 tips to help you present your best virtual self in your next interview.

Those with at least one woman on the board, outperform those without by 16%. These numbers give everyone a reason to care. If women are so vital to an organization’s success and bottom line, why is it so hard to hire, retain, and promote them?

There’s a saying that goes, treat a person as they are, and that person will remain as they are. Treat a person as they could be, and they will become as what they should be.
