Job interview
For a successful job interview, good preparation and practicing an interview are important. You will find that when you are well prepared for a job interview, you will be much more relaxed and perhaps less nervous during the interview itself.

The STARR method can play an important role in preparing for your interview: the more concrete examples you can provide in an interview regarding the skills you will bring, the better you will emerge in an interview.
The actual practice of a job interview will also make you feel more comfortable in an interview.

Online job interview 
It is also becoming more and more common, especially in these times: an online job interview via video calls, Skype or another tool. In general you can use the rules for an `regular' job interview on location as a starting point.

Read the information on Job Interview and the related information about the STARR method and Online video interviewing carefully.
