In order for the online meetings to be productive we suggest following these tips to make sure you are set up well

Join the interview from a laptop or desktop computer not a smartphone. You may need to print something or present your screen during the interview.

Choose a quiet place to talk. Attending an interview from the street is not a good idea.

Keep your phone at hand in case there are technical issues that mean we have to continue the interview by direct call.
