Research the Company and Review the Job Description

You can tailor your responses during the AI interview to align with the company’s goals and demonstrate your knowledge of the organization.

AI algorithms analyze your responses for personality traits and language proficiency. Work to align your tone and responses with targeted keywords

Familiarize Yourself With the AI Platform

Research the specific AI the company uses before your upcoming interview.

Practice Speaking Clearly and Concisely

One way to practice for an AI interview is to record yourself answering common interview questions on video or in front of a mirror.

Test Your Internet and Technology in Advance

Test your equipment ahead of time so you’ll be able to focus on creating a positive impression. Remember that you’ll likely need all of your audio and visual equipment.

Plan Your Attire

Even though the interview is virtual, it’s still important to dress appropriately. Resist the urge to only dress for the interview from the waist up.
