How to Prepare for a Virtual Hiring Event

First of all, what is a virtual hiring event? A virtual hiring event is where Allegro will accept job applications and conduct interviews using video. This is a unique opportunity to meet our management team and interview for our job openings without leaving your home.

You will want to prepare for a virtual interview the same way as an in-person interview. For example, you will want to be prepared to answer questions about your skills and experiences, and choose professional attire. A key thing to also remember is to make sure your technology is ready.

Here are some video interviewing tips:

• You’ll need a computer, laptop or mobile device with a webcam.
• Find a quiet location with an internet connection.
• Make sure you won’t be interrupted during your video interview.
• Check that your webcam and audio is working.
• Clean your webcam camera lens.
• Check that the background behind you is neutral.
• Adjust the lights in the room to make sure it’s not too dark or too bright.

What if I don’t have the right technology?

• Explore the resources available at the public library.
• Ask friends if you can borrow a computer, laptop or mobile device with webcam.

We look forward to meeting you virtually!
