If you're using popular video platforms such as Zoom or Google Hangouts, you can even change out the background to a more professional setting. DO look and sound the part You may think "Oh, it's just a virtual interview, so I'll just dress from the waist up". Well, there's a fair chance that you may still stand up or move around. So, do dress professionally. Speak slowly and clearly with a calm, pleasant tone. Avoid filler words such as 'ums' and 'ehs' as they make you sound less polished and professional. Most of all, try to let your personality shine through by smiling and being amiable. Read Also: Dressing for Job Interview Success DON'T go in unprepared Just like with any interview, don't go in without doing your research. And yes, while you could secretly Google for answers on the spot, it's not likely to leave a good impression. Doing some research shows the interviewer that you are interested in the company and have an informed opinion. It also helps to make for a more meaningful connection between the interviewer and yourself.
Do a quick test of your audio and video to make sure they are both working properly. Doing this in advance will give you time to troubleshoot any issues so you can be prepared to take the call. Do: Find a Strong Internet Connection Even if you say all the right things, having an internet connection that is lagging is most likely going to frustrate the person interviewing you. Odds are, they also won't be able to catch everything that you're saying in your answers. If your Internet isn't great at home, check out this list of places that offer free wifi. Do: Send a Thank You Note Even though a video interview doesn't feel the same as an in-person one, you're still taking time out of the interviewers day so they can give you a shot at a job. Making a good impression on that person is crucial, and sending a thank you note is typically expected, and sometimes required to move forward in their process. Video Interview Don'ts Don't: Take the Call in a Loud Setting At the end of the day, the content of your answers is likely going to be what determines if you move forward.
By now, you've probably become well acquainted with video calls, whether you're using FaceTime, Zoom, Skype or any other service. They've formed the backbone of many communications during lockdowns – and will likely continue to be used in recruitment processes and in the workplace even once social distancing requirements have ended. While you may feel comfortable with these services, there are a couple of things to remember when 'Zoom-ing' for work purposes. If you've got a video interview or meeting coming up, there are a few simple dos and don'ts so you make the best impression on your potential or existing colleagues. DO… make your background presentable The sight of celebrities and news correspondents' bookcases and front rooms has now become a familiar one, with many clearly having gone to great lengths to pick out the perfect selection of books and décor. However, for video interviews and assessment centres, we'd advise that you err on the side of caution. A plain wall or backdrop will usually be the best choice, but nobody's going to mark you down if you're background's a tidy room.

Do dress professionally. Do turn off all devices that might interrupt the interview or become a distraction in any way. Do remember to look directly into the camera when speaking during your interview. This will enable you to maintain virtual eye contact. Do watch your non-verbal cues, including posture, eye contact, smiling and hand gestures. Do your best to establish a rapport with your interviewer. Be engaging, just as you would if you were meeting face to face. Do follow the same protocol as traditional, in-person interviews: ask about next steps, send a thank you note, etc. Don'ts… Don't make the mistake of getting too comfortable. Just because you're in your home doesn't mean you can stay in your jammies. Dress appropriately and choose a tidy, quiet area of your home. Don't rely on off-camera notes. It's ok to jot a few things down so you can stay on track, but looking at notes too much will prevent you from maintaining eye-contact and could make you appear distracted. Don't go overboard on flashy clothing or jewelry.

However, if the person can't hear your answers, or only hears part of them, you won't be able to fully represent yourself. Although I love a good group hangout, taking an interview around a lot of people can add a bunch of noise in the background. In addition, it can be very distracting if there's too much background noise. So even if they can hear you through the noise, they might not be fully able to keep their attention on you. Make sure to scope out your call location ahead of time so you can determine if it's too loud. Give yourself enough time to find a new place, or have a few backups just in case. Don't: Move the Camera too Much Have you ever taken a video on your phone and then when you replayed it, you realized how shaky your hand was? If you are using your phone for the call, don't hold it in your hand if you can help it. Much like noise in the background, it can be very distracting or even make the person a little dizzy. If you need to take the call on your phone, find a place where you can prop it so it doesn't shake.
Why? Well, the most obvious reason is that you get "complimentary" points for your play which can be used for comps and sometimes you just get offers in the mail. You won't without a card.

The casino will keep some records for you so you know what to report to the IRS and your win/loss. Remember, they can only tell you about play while using a player tracking card.
