(Quick Tips) Stop Doing This on Remote Job Interviews!
Let us talk about that moment when you freeze mid-sentence, because among other things, your notes are everywhere, your Wi-Fi is buffering or you’re wearing a hoodie with “I’m Not Concerned” on it.
Eish.
Remote interviews are not just Zoom calls; they are your gateway to the workspace across the globe, and there are many young South Africans who are unaware, committing self-sabotage, late entries, mumbling through answers or looking like you're calling from a dark room; it is time to tighten up!
Jokes aside, that dream job isn't waiting for you to just "fix your camera."
Imagine being 90% ready only to self-sabotage with improper lighting, poor audio or worse, very vague answers like "I just want to grow."
Boi, we all want to grow!
Be specific. Be strategic. Be seen.
The trap is thinking because it’s a remote interview, you can work your way out.
That's a misstep.
Hiring managers are assessing written and verbal communication, professionalism, your ability to be on time and most importantly, are you intentional about the role?
Stop multi-tasking on interviews (yes, we see you on WhatsApp), stop resting on "um" and don't ignore the job description.
Prepare your space, prep your talking points and most importantly, research the company like you are 2 months behind on your rent and this job is your answer.
Because one day it might be!
The biggest mistake is under-estimating preparation just because the interview is an online interview; you're being judged regardless of where you are being interviewed, which could include judging your state of mind, skills background, physical posture and energy levels.
Check/fix your tech beforehand.
Practice your answers out loud, yes … even to yourself (or your mirror or your sibling if he stops laughing).
Research the company like you are hoping they ask you out on a date.
And also switch off the distractions; one WhatsApp ping can distract you and send a message to the interviewer that you are not serious about the role.
Dress up, your vibe changes when you look good.
You are not just applying for a job; you are selling confidence, clarity and capability.
From Orange Farm to Sandton, Free State to Mpumalanga, South Africa has talent.
But talent without preparation?
Dangerous.
Don't allow a simple mistake to block you from securing that remote role.
Start treating each interview like it is yours, because it is.
Create a "Remote Ready" checklist: good lighting, clear sound, good connection, great introduction and great answers!
